Fallon Kid Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Just an FYI. My local store was out of Lemishine and I tried the GV Brand Rinse Aid (so called equivalent) IT”S NOT. I use dollar store liquid dish soap but the Lemishone is the only thing that makes the brass like new when wet tumbling. Additionally, I don’t use the stainless pins, just hot water and soap + Lemi. Pocket come out clean and insides spotless. Anyway way I’ll try anything once and rinse aid is a one-timer. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Agate Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Kid, Your local grocery should have citric acid in the canning section. The last purchase I made was made by Ball. You can also get it cheap from a home wine making shop. Try 1 tsp of the dry citric acid instead of Lemishine. Your friend, Jasper 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Pretty sure Rinse Aid is not citric acid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 That aids in drying to avoid water spots, not shine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I wet tumble using dish soap and Lemeshine. After tumbling and rinsing I put a couple capfuls of my favorite car wash soap in a bucket with just enough water to cover the brass. Swish it for a few seconds, drain and lightly rinse. Then I dry in a case dryer. I rarely get water spots. The slick ceramic coating also seems to help make reloading easier, slick in the dies I guess. I use Turtle Wax Ceramic Hybrid Solutions. I've tried a few others, didn't work as well. Used to be able to get it at Walmart, now I have to get it through Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Wax-53411-Solutions-Ceramic/dp/B07XYQNZ2R/ref=asc_df_B07XYQNZ2R?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79989588515103&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583589115104599&th=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a dehumidifier that water is distilled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
