Would it not absorb moisture from the air like salt?

Dump it into a few mason jars. This way not all of it gets exposed each time you take the lid off.

I keep lemishine in a large plastic pill bottle at 1/4 tsp for each load it lasts a long time before needing a refill from the original container.

What??? Guess I'm a little jaded living in Manitoba. I don't think I'm ever more than an hour from a CT - and I do travel around the province.

Lemi shine crystals or liquid ?

Or you can use citric acid from one if those diy wine places.

If you have access to a U.S. address, you can get 10 pounds of food grade citric acid for about $25 USD. The shipping was free.

Lemishine powder, not liquid. I use a table spoon for every 100 pieces of rifle brass plus a squirt of liquid dish soap.
I fill the drum halfway with water. After 90 minutes, my brass comes out like gold, clean inside and out...primer pockets too. Occasionally get a pin stuck in the pocket, pop it out with a dental pick. I give a quick roll on a towel then stick'em case mouth down in my shell holder. I begin loading the next day. No tarnish, no water spots.

A tablespoon is a lot do you mean teaspoon?

 

[inthehizzy]

A tablespoon is only 15grams.
Might be alot to some, but that's what I use.
To each their own.

I need to pick some up, if the local CT or WalMart is out, I'll use citric acid, its almost identical in function.
