Gaucho Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I have been using a standard tumbler with corn media for years. It does an alright job, but I am tired of the dust it produces especially since people say the dust surely has lead particles in it. I am interested in a wet tumbler, but I can't help but think that water would have lead contaminates in it if the dry media does. On YouTube I see people using their kitchen sink or bath tub to rinse and dispose of the water. Is this what you do also? I have little kids and I don't want anything "lead" in the kitchen or bathtub. Am I over thinking this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Personally I just pour it down the kitchen drain, I don't cook in or eat out of the sink so don't worry about that. I guess you could pour it down the toilet if you so desired. I live in an apartment so don't have all the drain options I used to in a house. If you rinse the sink well then I doubt there would be much of anything left in the sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS26 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) I have a slop sink in my garage right next to bench makes for a real nice set up. I think you made a good choice switching to a wet tumbler, When I tested high for lead the first thing I changed was my tumbler and I have tried very hard to wash my hands after every time I shoot or handle my guns and my numbers fell to within reason.

Gaucho Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like lead contaminates aren't of too much concern with wet tumblers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nghthwk1911 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 So with the wet media, has anyone tried the Mr.Clean car wash fluid? I am thinking that it has a Wax in it and cleans it would do the job and not be harsh on the brass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.McDevitt Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Can't make up my mind whether it would be better mixed with Rum or Vodka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Give it a try (Mr. Clean Fluid) and let us know your results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latech15 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I use a waterhose to rinse mine out and it just goes on my driveway. The grass at the edge of the driveway seems to love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'd just dump mine in the drive way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Usually I tumble in the basement so I dump it down the sub pump hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp79 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I dump mine onto the driveway. After many many loads I have stained my concrete driveway. It's mainly the dirt which seems to come up with a push broom and a little water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gussers Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I dump mine in the kitchen sink and rinse it out after. We use a dishwasher to wash dishes, so I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven420 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I mix mine with rum and serve it to my neighbor. But he's a douche so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphar Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Toilet seems like a good option because you wash your hands after you touch it and you don't wash your dishes/yourself in it (well I hope not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
