I didn't see a dedicated thread so figured I would make one for this topic.
I just got the equipment and am getting in to wet tumbling.
I don't plan to wet tumble everything but may in the future.
I bought some RCBS mix with my kit but want to go to the "standard" Lemishine/ Dawn combo soon.
My biggest question is how is everyone controlling all the proportions for their tumbler?
Do you weigh the amount of brass or use a container to figure out how much to start with? My tumbler says about a pound if memory serves.
From there how do you figure how much water?
I assume the 5 lbs of stainless media, a squirt of Dawn (does actual brand matter?) and a 9mm case of Lemishine are pretty standard.
Just curious on your process and even the products you use.
Thanks in advance.
