Sweet deal! Looking forward to hearing what you think of that media in a vibratory tumbler Harry! :)

OK I'll ask the question. Yes I don't know
Harry is this used to polish brass chassis?
If so what is the media ?
Is it like a rock tumbler ?
Bob

You will like it, It makes em all shiny n' Purdy. I never really want to paint them afterwards though.

Bob

Yes sir.

The media is ceramic "chunks".

Yes, like a rock tumbler.

I swore I never needed or wanted one. But The General felt I did...and I just do what I'm told. :)

Just trying to keep up with them wealthy Aristocratic plantation owners that's why! :lol:

Colonel Bob

Yes, but I have to BUILD something to do that...and I still have not finished a thing today...lol

I feel your pain Harry, The only things I have finished is two packs of Pall... and few pots of coffee.
Not a productive day.

Bob

Dave, with all the chassis you have if you got one there might me a worldwide shortage of media! :)

You will love your new toy!!

Cheers

This is a 40 year old chassis with its accumulated "patina"



Same chassis.....tumbled!!

Wow... That looks nice...

That's the story with these things. The media I use is for brass cartridges and makes a more polished finish which is not as desirable as the satin finish in the photo above. I also add a little Brasso to the media, so before painting the brass bits need a degreasing (dipping in lacquer thinner and rub with a soft dry cloth).

I'm still old school. I use a stainless steel braid brush or an old toothbrush & a can of scouring powder such as Comet or Spic N Span. If I want a mirror shine on something, I use Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish. I don't build much these days, so I doubt I'll be changing to a tumbler any time soon. :)

Boss,

Now if you pick up some "All" liquid detergent, add some warm water to that media, dip your finger in the "All", rinse it off in the warm water, you will have some nice slot car jewelry.

Will do Marty. My 1:1 job is getting in my way...but I will do that.

And thank you.
