Jam packed
ConfusedTumbled some cases I fired yesterday. The media was nothing but my same old walnut and as usual cut up fabric softener inchlings. Did it outside with the cover off as always. The temperature got to 104 F and the humidity was terrible. shocker After about 4 hours I stared to unload the tumbler.To my surprise all the cases were caked solid with walnut. So much so that it was difficult even to gouge the stuff out wit a 3/16 screw driver blade.
OK! old any like experience or brilliant opinions? sofa roger
