Princess auto blasting media-walnut

[JP]

I use crushed walnut lizard bedding. I add mineral spirits to cut the dust and Nu-Finish to polish the brass.

I've used it, I find it coarse and slow, and it plugs flash-holes. Doesn't mean it doesn't work though. What I use is fine walnut that is sometimes used in drilling mud as a friction modifier, and more often as lost circulation material. It doesn't plug flash-holes and is relatively dust free. A 50 pound bag was 28 bucks last time I bought it, and a bag lasts a long time. For most people you might as well say forever.

I've used just about everything for compound, but mostly nu-finish these days. Nothing magic about it; but it works, its everywhere and its cheap.

I see mention of adding polish, nufinish etc. Are you talking about car wax/polish and if so how much do you add? Something like a tablespoon?

Correct, I add a cap full using the cap off the bottle. Same with varsol, I think I’ve got 2 cap full’s of wax in my tumbler now as I’ve added more walnut media.
