Get a small plastic container. Tip some BBs in to that. Tip graphite in to that. Shake. You now have awesome neck lube dispenser. 
Yeah thanks JS and how do you think for liquid in the tumbler I use Lemon Sparkle FINISH Gel with the water instead of normal dish washing liquid and citric the Finish Gel is for dish washers supposed to make things shiny
Anything works. Don’t overfill the bucket. Add your cases, detergent, etc. about 5cm from the top and then about half fill with hot water. Don’t over do the citric acid, about third of a tea spoon worth. Use hot water and make sure to thoroughly rinse everything under cold water after cycle to avoid staining from citric acid when drying. That’s about it.
right thanks mate
Ah and with this size tumbler how much media goes in I bought 5lb probably too much I suppose
How big is the bucket?
It’s the same as yours the one on top of the page
She’s right JS i’ll sort it out mate
A kilo for my bucket is more than enough
Have another bucket of water to drop them into, but in that bucket put a half teaspoon of bi-carb into it, which neutralise’s the acid.
Never used soda, just rinsed and it and that was that, only once had stains and that’s when I didn’t rinse under cold water.
I find that a lot of the time, people add things because they were told to, but never actually experimented with alternatives. Like I said in the title of this post - with sanity and no cobra semen.
Just use cold tap water. No need for anything else.
Right-o thanks for that info gentle men and sorry to keep on about it just that I wanted to get the right thing going just got to deliver some jerky and then I will spend the afternoon shinnying some brass cheers and thanks again
Feel free to deliver some jerky this way mate!
Need an address for that mate and i’ll send you a couple of bags of each to try ‘’ chilly and plain’’
Sound good to me, I’ll send you some slugs in return if you like?
Nah mate only 4 bags 40grams in each alls good 2 x hot 2 x cold

Looks pretty good for your first effort.
If you experiment a bit with the time and mixtures you will find a finish that you are happy with but they are a big improvement on what they looked like before.
