I have found it....the lemi shine of the north!

[LordEvilPepper]

everyone whohas been wet tumbling for a while knows about the gods nectar that is lemi shine for getting super bright and shiny cases. and they also know its not avalible comercialy in canada... and shipping it can be rather expensive.

Well I found it... a Canadian available lemon soap product that does the same thing...

behold Sunlight lemon with oxi action, with a mere 40 minutes in the tumbler my dirty range brass has been transformed. no residue, no spots....just shine

Yeah I've had no trouble finding it at CT, is it really that hard to find elsewhere??

none of those are the super concentrate liquid dish soap that gives you that mirror finish

a very cheap alternative... that sunlight cost me like $3

 

[Armourall]

CT is my source for Lemi

 

[recce]

It's the first one, the booster. It's concentrated and works very well, but you also need to add dish soap.

Your Sunlight looks like a great and cheaper alternative.

FYI, a spoon of citric acid + any dish soap will work.
I think vinegar or acetic acid could work too, but they smell.

 

[BlackPowderBurner]

You can get citric acid by the lb at bulk barn. Add some simple green or dawn and you’re good to go.

I got all excited a couple of years ago and bought a bag of citric acid at Bulk Bark or something similar. My wife gave me a mini slow cooker that she didn't need. Cleaned all the brass I could lay my hands on. There's still enough left in the bag to last me another three lifetimes.

I mostly use a Frankford Arsenal shaker to clean brass now. The acid did make a nice job, though.

BPB: I didn't add any dish soap. I'll give that a whirl next time!

Nope, not an alternative at all. Most guys including myself have been buying Lemi Shine at CT for years now.

 

[LordEvilPepper]

I just looked today, no lemi shine in my CT....

If you're in Drayton Valley like your profile says, your Canadian Tire has 8 in stock in aisle 55.

 

[Gatehouse]

No CT around here so I just throw about a tablespoon of citric acid into the cement mixer, with a good shot of dish soap.

 

[snooker]

Just order from amazon.ca
A 24 oz container is just under $25.
Lemishine booster powder.
Yes it's in stock right now.
