Well my buddy's dad lost his home/shop due to an electrical fire and all his stuff burnt up. lots of nice guns too... so my buddy wanted to clean up one of his dads custom 44 magnums that somewhat survived the fire. well he first tried my walnut media in the blaster, and while it was working, it wasn't working well enough.
so next day he brought over very fine white glass media and we used the dust separator to change out the media (basically vacuumed it all up and changed buckets for the separator after lol)
well after seeing how well that glass media cleaned up the aluminum and stainless on that revolver. I figured what the hell: I was bored, so I gave the baffles another go with the glass media and was very quick with the gun passes to be sure it didn't stay in one spot for more than a second.
first and probably last time I will have to use that media on them, but wow! they look brand new and it literally took maybe 30 seconds per baffle to get them completely clean.
the next cleaning will be done with the walnut media and should be equally as easy since I will probably clean it after every use now.
if they eventually wear out, I'll have it rebuilt with stainless baffles.
So if you ever have baffles that just won't come clean: hit it with glass media in a blast cabinet. it will instantly come clean!
