Just got a Frankford wet tumbler. will be using the pins. Tried 2 batches so far, both came out looking amazing. I did buy the frankford cleaning packets. I do intend to switch over to dish soap and lemi-shine but wanted something i didn't have to tinker with starting out.
So I tried 2 methods so far
Added water, packet, pins. Let it run for 1hr so check and see how it looked, figured I could let it go longer if needed came out looking like new, fantastic results.
2nd run
added water, pins, let it run for 15min kind of a rinse to get the grime off. Dumped the water (mildly dirty), refilled, added pins and packet, ran for 1hr. came out looking amazing again. After the cleaning the water was less dirty, telling me I got all the dirt off and that the 15min rinse helped..
I see people running it longer, is there any benefit or is going longer just wasting time?
