Sarge Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 If it’s the right time of the year spread them out on an old sheet in the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4n2t0 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) I do the sun thing all the time but if you're in an absolute rush baking them on a cookie sheet works. Edited August 21, 2019 by 4n2t0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnder Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Cheap multi stack food dehydrator works fine. If you want quick drying - dip the wet brass into a container of denatured alcohol to displace the water before drying. Optional, works fine without this step.

Smithcity Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The brass daddy by sgcbrass will separate pins from your brass then dry your brass in about 20 to 30min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSEMARTIN Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I picked up a Frankford Arsenal case dryer for around 60 bucks from Brownells. Works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfoto Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I got a used food dehydrator from Goodwill for $20. Since I usually tumble in the evenings after work, the brass usually hits the dryer by 8 and I turn it off when I go to bed at 10. Usually let them cool down overnight but when I have checked they are bone dry at about an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yondering Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) I dry brass in the oven at 250°. Usually 30 minutes is enough for pistol cases, sometimes I'll let it go longer for 223. Edit - a pizza pan with holes in it dries faster than a solid pan. Edited August 21, 2019 by Yondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seowitz Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Fastest = food dehydrator / reloading company's brass dryer (same things) Cheapest / easiest = leave brass out in the hot sun Cheapest / fastest = leave brass in the car in the hot sun, especially if you have a hatchback for maximum sun exposure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SV650Squid Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 During the summer, set it on your AC unit. All the other times, https://www.amazon.com/NESCO-FD-37A-Dehydrator-Speckled-Marbled/dp/B00CS5ZI6G/ref=sr_1_20?crid=2U89AWJNLOJQF&keywords=food+dehydrator&qid=1568155948&s=gateway&sprefix=food+deh%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-20 is cheaper than the reloading company rebadged food dehydrators.

Miranda Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I hear clothes driers are the next big thing in brass drying... I have to agree that the AC exhaust is a good idea. perhaps a dehumidifier modification can be more convenient? miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino329 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I picked up a used food dehydrator. It has five trays and holds about 1000 rounds of 40. Works excellent. Brass dries with no spotting or film. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroshi Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I just leave it outside on the hot sun for few hours, since I live In hot and humid state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think that too and held out for a few years. I don't really care at all about perfectly shiny brass. Wet tumble in the FART without pins for 45 -60 min. Cheap Amazon food dehydrator for 90 minutes. Done. Minimal effort, no dust. An added bonus is that by using ArmorAll car wash and wax, I no longer need to lube my cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevrofreak Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I lay it out on a large beach towel and roll it around, then let a box fan blow air across it overnight. I have done the baking thing and the brass always darkens for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Wipe it down with a dry towel and then lay them out under the hot Florida sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
