Dehydrator for case preparation
After I deprime and size, I use a sonic cleaner to clean the brass. Once done I put the wet brass in a food dehydrator to dry. Works will and I am wondering if anyone else uses this method.

I use one of those tin foil baking pans, lined with a towel, and put in the oven at 150F.
After 20 mins I roll the brass around on the towel and put in another 20 mins.
I use a SS tumbler, but I was getting dry water spots all over the brass and it looked like crap. Since I started with the towel and rolling them around I don’t get spots anymore.

In the summer I lay it out on a towel in the sun for a couple of hours. In the winter I lay them out on a table in front of the radiant heater in the garage overnight.

I use a dehydrator. It works really well.

Yep. Still had water spots. Tried a bit more lemi-shine and it turned my brass dark.

I use stainless pins. I rinse the cases in clean warm water and spread them on a towel. I bundle up the towel and roll and shake the cases a few times, then spread it out and run a fan over the cases for a couple hours. No spots.
FWIW, I gave up on Dawn and Lemishine and now use Blue Coral car wash/wax and Finish rinse aid. I think it gives a nicer shine that lasts much longer...

I have to think you're kidding. Car wax on a cartridge case so they shine longer? I'll bet they shoot better too. FWIW .. what goes with some of you guys?

I’ll have to try that.
The Lemi shine dawn combo definitely doesn’t last
