[QUOTE="Mike_60, post: 2537977, member: 16957"] Cleaning to long or leaving the brass in the water after you turn the tumbler off will darken the brass. I run mine about half an hour and then change the water and then let it run another hour and a half - for two hours total. I fill the tumbler to within an inch or so of the lid, give it a squirt of dish soap and a thimble full of Lemi-Shine (each fill), and I end up with fantastic looking brass. When I separate it I use a media separator half full of water. I pour the barrel full of brass and pins into the separator's basket and spin it good to get the pins out. The stainless pins are still attracted to magnets, so I use a strong magnet to collect any wayward escapees, and there usually are some. After separation, I dump the brass onto a clean towel and roll it all around to get most of the water off. I then use a dryer to get them totally dry and spot free. [/QUOTE]
