After reading a something Beiruty posted about how I could just use my dryer to polish brass...I got to thinking "Why Not"
I went to Home Depot and bought a 2 gallon bucket with lid. Used some 'media' that I use in my snakes cage (Crushed Walnut shells - Petco for 9.00)
I placed the bucket into the dryer (wrapped in several towels and then padded with pillows) turned it on 'air dry' for 2 hours. When it was done...Shiny Brass
At first I took Beiruty's post as kind of a joke, but it seemed to work out well.
I know...Im an redneck...

Now that I am retired I may have to try that when the sweet wife is at work.
Cause I are a RedNeck too.
Thanks.

That reminds me...I have a dryer in the garage that will not heat up. What a perfect use for it. My wife won't kill me for that.

RCBS Brass cleaner - $75.00
New Front Load Dryer - $1,200
Look on wife's face when bucket breaks and spills media in dryer -- Priceless
Good idea but I think I will pass............

Cheaper than a used dryer.
Cheaper than repairing the one in your laundry room.
Won't put you in the doghouse with your wife.

That's similar to baking DuraCoat'ed parts in the family oven.
