Please keep us updated on what works to stop the leak.

My gasket looks like sandpaper where it contacts the cases.

I do have a spare liner and gasket. From a drum that I dropped and could not get to run straight after the fall. Had to replace it.

My tumbler has started leaking no matter how hard I tighten the nuts. I even tried a new gasket.

I guess I'm going to have to buy a whole new liner.

I have cleaned about 130,000 pieces by now though.

When back to the metal wing nuts, instead of the plastic knobs. Stopped the leaking.

The plastic knobs have more contact area that the cheap sharp hollow wing nuts that come with the tumbler.

But if it works for you fine. I will continue to use my easy on your hands plastic knobs.

There is a thread on here somewhere about that. If you can't find that thread, start a new thread (don't hijack this one) and ask.

The pins work well and I stuck with them since I started this thread back in 2011.

The title of the thread is "Wet tumbling with SS media." Chips are stainless steel media. It's a far stretch to call it a thread hijack.

If you dont want anyone asking questions with slight deviations from your process or exact materials then go ahead and put a disclaimer in the OP. You might as well just lock the thread if OP is law and questions/discussions on possible (or not) improvements to wet stainless tumbling are verboten.

Thanks for your advice, but I disagree.

I agree. The question about stainles steel chips or any other stainless steel media shape is right inline with the thread title subject.

Then start a chip thread as the last one probably slipped into the archives due to lack of interest.

THIS is my stainless chip thread. Readers will learn that I find them OK for certain calibers, but not at all "superior" to pins for most calibers.

I found these pictures of yours in some of my "important" copied files. I've noticed that you haven't restored them here.....maybe you don't have them since photobuckets class act? Anyway.....if you want them back, download them and/or move them to where they go then erase this post. IMO this was one of the important threads......started a whole new trend in brass prep. I may be able to find more of the pictures.....looking.
