Ya, water quality has a lot to do with wet tumbling. I have crappy, hard well water. I need extra Lemishine, and if I don't use hot water, it doesn't work as well. Took me awhile to get my concoction right! Dawn makes more suds, but doesn't do anything extra special for the added cost. I've used cold water, with less Lemishine, and Dawn in the city to good effect though.

Use Dawn (R) Liquid Dish Detergent, 1-1/2 teaspoons (1/2 tablespoon) per drum load. I also use very hot water. I coat the rubber gaskets with a glycerin-like vinyl car cleaner for a leak-proof seal.

Low E Tide is very effective and reduces sudsing.. so rinsing is easier
how much are you using?
There's so many recipes for wet tumbling, I couldn't resist adding another one to the lore book:
When wet tumbling on 31 October, start the process at 10:21PM and set for 99 minutes. First, draw the summoning diagram around the tumbler, starting at the bottom and going widdershins three times. Set a purple candle at the first significant intersection of the diagram, a small pile of Hodgdon Longshot at the second intangible and light them with a sliver of red oak (not maple, not pine!). In boiling water that must have been drawn at night from a natural well, add 1/2 tblspoon of Dusk soap, two pinches of devil's Lemishine, seven matching kidney stones, a dollop of beeswax for polish, three drops of blood from the wife, 1/4 cup of spiced rum from a new bottle and recite for the next ninety minutes the seventh incantation from the Necronomicon (the one titled "Reloading with Cthulhu and Hornady").
P.S. Don't forget to add the brass too.
On the stroke of midnight, drink the remainder of the rum (yes, ALL of it), open the tumbler and empty the contents on a black towel. Do not let the liquid touch you! You may look inside the tumbler if you think your mind can bear the sight of the Elder Ones, but do not breathe the vapors! You must let sunshine dry the brass for thirteen hours before touching it or you will go mad.

^^^^ You don't want to over do it with the lemishine or soap

I like the rum part, the rest is overkill.....

I'm not so good with directions.
I bought and drank the rum at noon. Donated some blood to the kitchen counter after spinning windershins 3 times. Woke up around midnight.
Hmmm... well, as long as you didn't pronounce the incantations while you were semi-conscious, you're probably safe from having Cthulhu taking permanent residence in your tumbler's drum.
P.S. I didn't wait the full 13 hours. Now the Beretta is telling me nasty thing about the Henry, and I think they're both plotting together against the press. And don't get me started about what the powder said of the cases... frigging Princess Powder!
