KAL Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I got a couple of Dillon powder drops that were acquired second hand. The previous owner never emptied the powder out of them and they are stained so brown you almost can not see through them. I tried sticking them in the ultra sonic with a 50/50 simple green mix. No luck, Anyone know of something better?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most popular powder measures sell spares as a basic consumable part item. Chuck it and by a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn jones Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 there really isn't any cure for the discoloration. the only answer is to dump the powder back in the original container. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 All of my powder measures look that way . And my dillon presses are so old they are now kinda dillon turquoise. But it all still works Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hello; On cars they call it patina ;-). The only way I can see to clean the plastic up would be to polish it to remove the surface stain. There is no way to tell how deep the stain is though. Polishing the inside is going to be difficult as well. Thanks Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Vanek Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Try "Plexus" it's a plastic cleaner, protectant, and polish that you can pick up at motorcycle shop's. FWIW: Works great on polymer magazines and frames and won't leave a oily residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Why worry, I wouldn't. Most of mine are that way and I just go with it. I have a well lit area and I can easily see how much powder is in even the worst discolored one. Not an issue in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPatterson Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Buy a low powder sensor then you won't have to worry about seeing inside the powder measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry White Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have a sure fire way to get them clean again. Works without fail, just send me five bucks and I will share the secret. Well I guess I shouldnt do that, so here it is. Call Dillon and they will replace them, gotta love them folks.----------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
