I just recieved my newest toy....er... tool. Eastwood Vibratory Tumbler. I'm very excited about it. It should prove very useful around the shop. Right now it's running its maiden voyage. I put a bunch of body to pan brackets from the 56 bug into it with 7 pounds of Green Rust Cutting media. It takes about 3 to 7 hours to do it's thing, so the after shots will come tomorrow. Here is the before shot.

Vibratory finishing is a whole industry in itself. Is great to clean spent brass when reloading ammo. I went to a place that made the small plastic parts that go in there. They have different Silicone Carbide grit in the plastic and as the media vibrates it cuts into the metal.
A solution of some kind is much faster. Remember Navel Jelly. I saw a UTube Video on Citric Acid on rust removal. Small bolts are a pain in the ass to holds in the blast cabinet. Bruce has worked something out for replaying screws and small parts that makes it somewhat easer. Bob |

Are you saying or suggesting putting navel jelly or some other solution in the vibratory tumbler? Or saying the solutions work better? I love these drugs...
