    For those of you who use walnut media it's available from Harbor Freight in both course and fine grades for $24.99 for 25 pounds.That probably a life time supply for most shooters. They also sell polishing compound to rejuvenate the media when it gets old. I wish that they had something to rejuvenate me.

    Just remember Muggsy, your only as old as you feel. Sadly today according to my hands I'm 96. Not even cloudy or damp, what's up with that?

    The change in weather causes the pain, not the weather

    "I" don't feel old, but every time I try to act "not old" my body says "Hey what ya think yer do'n stupid?"

    I soak my brass in vinegar and water and tumble it with my hands for a minute or two. I roll them in a towel then put them in a toaster oven at 150 degrees for 20 minutes. They will completely dry out overnight. They come out clean and shiny!

    Yep add some OMS but before that pour the media between 2 containers, outside when there's a light breeze to get rid of the dust
    I apologize if my post contains the same or similar information as someone who has posted before me.

    Good idea, next time I replace my media (in a year or two) I'll have to try that.

    After about 4 batches of brass my media is no longer dusty. I could have avoided the issue had I tried your technique. Live and learn.

    Sorry:
    Odorless Mineral Spirits (OMS), paint dept, Walmart, or anywhere.
    If you like the stink, get paint thinner
    or use diesel fuel
