| Yes, but most are abrasive. There are porcelain, ceramic and plastic media out there for mass finishing. |

I use a mix of different shapes for polishing my castings. The round, "saturn", and short pins get caught in the jewelry more than the pins. Not sure how they would work on brass. Murphy's law says they would plug the primer/flash hole if you tumbled unprimed brass. Try this. Tumble with water, plastic beads and cerium or tin oxide powder. |

| Thats exactly why I bought it. Pours right out.. As a side benefit, it also only takes half the time to tumble. There is nothing that takes over an hour |
