[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2360967, member: 8377"] Good info you two. I was wondering why I got the pink deposits on the brass I cleaned with Lemishine. I have since switched to using a squirt of 20% hydrochloric acid in a 2 quart ultrasonic. five minutes and its done. Not a scientific ratio I understand, but if you stay present during the process you can judge when the brass is ready. I do not recommend this procedure for anyone who is not comfortable working around acids! Also, do what you oughta and add acid to watuh, not the other way around. Then rinsed several times, first with a weak baking soda solution and then hot water. After I shake off the water I dump the lot into a bowl of acetone to displace the water, shake them off again and let them air dry for about 20 or 30 minutes. Total time about between 30 and 40 minutes. [/QUOTE]
