Did I read somewhere to toss some dryer sheets to clean media or am I just gonna have cases that smell nice?

Never had them wrap around the shaft. Have had to dig them out of a few cases thoughIve been tossing in a full sheet and it always seems to just get wrapped around the piece of threaded rod in the middle of the bowl. Kind of feel like it gets wrapped around the first minute or two and then just hangs out there the rest of the time. Are the strips less likely to do this?
I’ve never compared with or without used dryer sheets. But anything to help cut down on that nasty ass lead ladened dust, is good. I just rip the sheets by hand lol. Also tumble outside.
Yup corncobAre you using walnut Andrew? I switched to corncob a while ago and I see almost no dust from that. Way better than walnut was and it seems to polish better and faster.

Try wet tumbling without the pins. It saves having to decap first. Also, no offense, but your sig line sucks. It takes up half a page (the quotes aren't that good either, especially the 1000th time you see them. I especially like the burn quote on Dench who's banned and won't see it. You showed him and continue to do so, uselessly). I wish I could turn them off like everyone else.Stainless steel pins dont need reconditioning. And no dust.
If you can switch to wet tumbling, do it.

To the OP: The dryer sheets (used ones, and cut into 1/4's the long way) come out filthy, and remove some of the harmful shit (lead styphnate) in the media. It doesn't make it last longer, but it helps to remove some of the harmful compunds. The media wears out when the sharp edges break off. When it's worn, you could put silk scarves in it and it won't help. It's like using worn out sandpaper.
Adds to much shit to do for my ever increasing lazy ass.Someone doesnt like wet tumbling.
just wanted to be clearer...it was shipped in a plastic lined cardboard drum, not a steel, lets add 35 pounds to shipping, drum.not like it isn't cheap enough. i bought a 55 gal drum of media from brownells several years ago. cost like 55 bucks delivered. it's stored in my down stairs bathroom. but worth it for a lifetime supply.

I throw them on a tinfoil tray and in the oven for 20 min at the lowest temp, mine goes down to 170. Done. They come out nice and dry.How do you dry the cases after wet tumbling?
