I use Walnut media that I buy aHarborur Freight. You don't need to add anything else but if you want to you could ad some Nufinish, a cap full or so and let the tumbler run for 15 minutes or so.

+1 on adding a cut up dryer sheet to the mix, after the car polish has mixed with the media well enough. The dryer sheets REALLY cut down on the dust / lead (which is from the spent primers).
Also use Nitril gloves when handling the cases since I take them out 1 by 1 & inspect them. Always wash hands & face after the process.
Thinking about buying SS media & a Thumblers rotational polisher...reduce dust factor...ya ya...I like shiney brass :dunno: ;)

I've never heard of the dryer sheet trick either. Now my next batch out of the tumbler will be mountain spring fresh! :chuckle:

I do use previously used dryer sheets, cut them into smaller squares, and then poke them into the media in different places to keep them spread out.
You can use new ones if you like but seems like a waste to me :dunno: although maybe if you were to use certain scented sheets that might be considered an attractant by the WDFW :chuckle: :dunno: :chuckle:

I've washed in hot soapy water and then dried before the first tumble. Then deprimed then tumble for shine. But jonesin' for an ultrasonic because they clean inside of brass so well. Better than my steel wool on a stick on the drill anyways.
They tell me that those ultrasonic cleaners even get the crud out of the primer pockets. That alone would be something to see! :tup:

That looks like good stuff hc. Still trying to get my mind to believe it won't work harden brass, though.
I have been through a few custom reloader shops and they used cement mixers with the pins. There isn't much more impact to the case than with cob or nuts, the pins just don't hold dirt and fit in every nook and cranny.
