    Deprime first. Are you wet or dry tumbling?

    If dry tumbling, add nu finish and some mineral spirits to the media. Some people use walnut, some corn cob, some people mix both together.

    The nu finish helps polish and protect the brass, and the mineral spirits helps clean the brass and cut down on dust.

    Does that aid in the cleaning process?

    Dry tumble if you like lead dust - I wet tumble does a much better job and no lead dust.

    JTD-

    How much of the nu finish and mineral spirits should be added to the dry tumble mix?

    I take the lid from the nu finish and fill it half with nu finish and half with mineral spirits. When my media is new, I treat every load for the first 6 loads or so. After that, I treat the media every 2 to 3 loads.
