If the walnut or any media is really dusty, along with some used(or new) cut dryer sheets, I use a cap full or so of odorless mineral spirits. I dribble in the mineral spirits, once the media is not clumping, toss in the cut up dryer sheets. let it run until the media looks even in color, if it still looks dry in color(light) add a little more mineral spirits. I know I've added enough mineral spirits once the walnut media has a slight dark color and moist look, but is not WET. remove and toss the dryer sheets, they should be DIRTY!!
I then dribble in a little Nu-finish if I'm polishing. Let that run a few minutes and toss in the cases.
Since I started wet tumbling, I don't really use the dry media any more for cleaning prior to sizing. I do use dry media for removing case lube...
