Brasso my asso

Sounds like the operation went well then.

You don't have any cracks developing a year later after the brasso exposure, huh?

 

[Why not?]

......... I also found that the NU-Finish builds up a black wax layer in the bottome of my tumbler after time. But that's just fom my own experiance.

Same here! I haven't bothered trying to remove it. Have you?

Actually, those cases went back in the can of regular use cases. I've not seen any failed cases yet.
As to the operation, yes, I'm biking to work, and even running a bit now.

I've scrubbed it out with dish soap and water.

Thanks for dragging this thread back up John.

I'd forgotten about it. It was fun, and I might get ambitious and do a 308 test, but more extreme. Long Brasso soaking between reloading and shooting several times.

I'll go one further and hypothesize that other solvents in the brasso help evaporate the ammonia and thats why it smells stronger.

If that were the case it would smell very strong for a short time then be gone completely. I believe what is taking place is that the hydrogen atoms in the ammonia are being bonded with a carbon atom in an oil molecule. Thus the ammonia smell lingers for ever because it takes a long time to evaporate completely away. The oil molecule is present to give the brass a coating to minimize surface exposure to oxygen. This is just high school chemistry though so don't take my word as gospel.
