I was *hoping* this thread would help me identify something a friend gave me maybe two years ago.*
It's red like jeweler's rouge, hard like rocks, and shaped like Tinkerbell-sized corn flakes. Finally ran it two weeks ago and it polishes to a high shine VERY quickly, except of course for the black tarnish stuff, and even that yields to the polish faster with this than anything I've tried, including overdosing walnut media with two different types of white polishing compound.
It's large enough that you have to shake .223 cases upsidedown for a few seconds to get it all out. Not sure it would enter the mouth of a .17 caliber case...
Washing dirty/dusty walnut sux and I'm ready to never do that again. Dryer sheets of quasi-fabric and thin sponge construction don't clean very much dust IME.
So, any idea what this stuff is I stumbled into???
*Was telling him about a successful repair I made to a very old, discontinued Dillon tumbler's motor, and he offered me his since it had crapped out too...but all he had left was the bowl and lid on their springs, and the media inside. He's been too busy to talk to about something so minor for a while...IMO at least. Keeping his burden lower...
