Brass Drying

[rayzorloo]

Hello CGN, I was looking at the Brass Dryers being sold by a couple of site sponsors, and wondered what other products anyone has used that did the job. These ones being sold are $60-80, currently I am putting them in the oven at 200F for 20 minutes and it does the trick. The dryers can do the job it seems quicker and more volume with the airflow etc. Any other products that you guys use which may be cheaper or can be sourced at say Cdn Tire, Princess etc.? If not I'm good to keep doing the oven at 200F method.

Thanks in advance.

I used to just spread them across a table on a towel and blast a fan on them. Did the job for cheap

I use an old food dehydrator I found off of kijiji for $20. Works good and cheap.

I put them out on a screen. Air dry in 24hrs.

Leaving them in the sun works well.

I have put them in front of the fireplace but the wife doesn’t like it.

I have heard some place the cases over the heat registers.

I usually let them air dry in the sun during summer, I have some drying right now on a towel, I'll load them up in a day or two.
I don't see the need to buy another tool when there are simple options available.

Spaghetti strainer on the heater vent in the living room works pretty well.

I use a 5 gallon plastic bucket and a old hair drier along with a strip of cardboard with a hole cut in it to hold the hair drier. And the cardboard covers less than 1/4 of the top of the bucket for maximum air flow.

With the hair drier on high the brass is dry in less than 15 minutes.

Cook a pizza. When the pizza is done, turn off the oven. Insert cases. Eat pizza. When you,'re done eating pizza, cases are dry.

You get a pizza on top of it all.

Oh yeah, forgot to say. I use an old salad spinner to get most of the water out of the cases. Speeds up the drying and prevents spots.

When the ol' lady's at church, I use her dehydrator, and no ones the wiser.
