I thought I’d pass this along.
I cleaned my tumbling media, it was getting dirty and the cases were not coming clean, were not bright and shiny and looked a little dull.
I just put two orders into midway and forgot tumbling media and since shipping is so much $$ I figured I would try to clean it.
It worked fantastic and only cost you $3 for the screen bag.
Here’s what you need.
Water, a 5 gallon bucket, a 5 gallon paint strainer “a screen bag”, a little cleaner and drying pan/box.
Fill the bucket with water and cleaner, I used Zepp (TSP would work).
Put media in the paint strainer and tie close.
Put in the bucket like a giant Tea Bag.
Let soak and once in a while swish it around. (I let one batch go over night with no problem).
My water turned green with a little gray (not sure from brass oxide or the walnut media itself, probably both).
I dumped the water and re-filled again. At this point you can see little black specs from the powder.
I kept flushing until clear.
I put it on cookie sheets and let it dry in the sun on my hot deck.
Stuff looks brand new.
