Lemi-shine

[oremike]

A lot of us use this product while wet tumbling our brass. I've been getting mine at Bi-Mart and they aren't stocking it any more. The active ingredient for Lemi-Shine is Citric Acid. I did an on-line search and got 5 lbs of food grade Citric Acid shipped to my door from Wal-Mart for about $18.00. I've tried it and it works just like Lemi-shine at 1/2 the cost.

I skipped all that and just added some lemon juice from the fridge in with car-wash soap.

Walmart has lemishine

So does Safeway.

The safeway by our house does not carry lemi shine but the walmart does.

Lemon juice, citric acid and even that jam preserver will work.

Fred Meier carries it also.

Been using Lemi Shine for brass. Just found Lemi shine brand dishwasher soap and bought some. Hope it works as well on dishes ...

I use the lemi shine booster.

Amazon sells citric acid in all sizes at 1/4 the cost of Lemishine.

That vid was quite useful for wet tumblers. Slap a specialty sticker on it and sell it for 3X-4X the price. Hmmmph.

I think I was using more Lemi-Shine than I needed in my ultra-sonic tank, the brass had a pink tint when it came out. I bought mine at Fred Meyers.

If you are getting pink brass you are definitely using too much of the Lemi-shine. A little goes a long way with that stuff.

As said a little goes a long way. Plus depending on what all is in your water mskes a difference.

I use about 1/2 a teaspoon of lemi shine in city water.
My brother is on a well and can only use 1/4 of a teaspoon or he gets off color brass.

Some reloading snobs think the Lemishines from out their butts.

 

[po18guy]

I have always dry tumbled. Walnut shell and jeweler's rouge. Harbor Freight sells 50 lbs of crushed shell, coarse or fine, for $49.99. Add $6.99 to your door.

To treat the walnut shells, rouge, or (non-Ammonia) Flitz liquid does the same job.

Can never be too clean

I usually only left it in for 15mins then rinse thoroughly.
