So I tumbled my first ever batch of 9mm brass and added a scoop of this flitz metal polish which says it's ok for use on brass and firearms . I mixed it with dry corn Von and tumbled for about 2 1/2 hours. The brass came out super clean but it feels like there might be some residue on them. Did I just ruin the brass by using the flitz?

Interesting, Flitz makes polish specially for tumbling brass http://www.flitz.com/p-26-tumblermedia-additive.aspx |
| The only Dillon product I use (so far) is their brass polish for tumblers. I dump my brass in my 20/40 corncob, pour a capful on top and turn it on. Never noticed anything but clean brass...no globs inside, not gunk outside. I'm wondering if you just used too much polish....it doesn't take much. |
| That flitz is like a goo, i put a spoonful in and let it run for about 30 min before I added brass. Now retumbling in fresh corn. There were no globs on the inside of cases just felt like a waxy buildup on cases. So maybe I put in too much? I won't use it again, turned the old media black! But the cases look great! |

The media is black because the "dirt" had to go somewhere. Use a dryer sheet or anything to pick up the dust and/or dirt in your media?
The polish may have something in it that feels slick when you handle the cases. A wax or silicone, maybe the only way to find out is looking at the MSDS. When I use NuFinish car polish in my tumbler, the cases come out feeling slick, and are usually not so slick after handling and loading. It hasn't seemed to have been a problem when I shoot them. |
