[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1578260, member: 12995"] Using too much LemiShine will make your brass tarnish and turn black and pink. I used to run the brass processing portion of an ammo plant, and we had a couple batches that did that when too much LemiShine was put into the mix. Be sure to extra-thoroughly rinse your brass afterwards, too. You don't want any chemical residue on it. This is also probably causing you some of your scaling issues. What you need is a brass dryer. And then tumble polish the brass after it's completely dry. That will remove the water quicker, and then the tumbler will polish up the cases and remove any tarnish or chemicals stuck to them.
