I'm looking for some of the best up to date home brews for UL cleaning brass I have surfed all the old post on a couple forums and would like some new thoughts. ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | ||

Still going with tap water (enough to cover cases and a little more), Lemishine (about a 40 or 45 case worth), and Dawn (a "squirt"). Tap water to rinse in a colander and sink of water then spray rinse. A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. | |||

How much Lemi Shine? ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

About a .45 ACP case or so. The advice I was given was a .40 S&W case but I din't have one. I have the Harbor Freight Cleaner that Lyman sells, and my water level may be any where from an ich below the max line to max. Sometimes I sprinkle it on like I'm salting a plate. Lemishine is crystalized "fruit acid", probably citric acid. I buy it at Walmart. A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. | |||

I use about four ounces per gallon of Costco (Maintex Brand) Neutral Floor Cleaner, along with about three heaping teaspoons of citric acid per gallon of solution. I run them about eight to ten minutes at approximately 40 degrees C or 120 F. The citric acid is all-important in my opinion as it 'passivates' the brass and also speeds up the cleaning process considerably. That's what I have used for a couple of years now and it works quite well. | |||

I just ran a couple batches with Lemi Shine/dish soap and think it's a great tool!! Primer pockets were the only reason I bought the unit and they are clean!! I let the brass dry then ran through the vibro-bowl and think I will never clean brass the same way again. ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||
