Forgot to tell them they should deprime the cases first for best clean in the primer pocket holes. Dry media tumblers clog up the flash hole

A Simple "H" shaped agitator makes the FA Tumbler lite, and absolutely awesome tumbler. A Dollar Store Poly Cutting board (I bought 5 b/c bending to fit in the tumbler can snap them. - 3/4" - 1" wide legs and cross bar. -Cut with a fine tooth jig saw (20TPI blade) hold firm, if it starts vibrating hard, you will snap the legs of the H. Once cut out, heat crossbar of H with a hair dryer til it is more bendable. Carefully! this is where I snapped the first 3 I made. With the agitator in place, tumbler will clean 20-300 cases at a time without problem.

I just cut 6 pieces of plastic coat hangers (1/4" round) to lay in each crease of the jug. Will be hot gluing them in place right after I scratch the inside up real good. Then I will try adding layers of plasti-dip or some type of rubber coating for porches/decks. This should make the cases tumble quietly.

To add a rubberized coating to the Tumbler Lite version. Sand the inside of the tumbler container to rough up the inside so the coating will have something to grip and bond with the plastic. Place the tumbler on the base WITHOUT the lid and turn the machine on and let it run. Using a spray can of a rubberized spray on coating. Do the back first and then make you way to the front in light coats. You'll need to do multiple layers to build up the thickness you want. Now just leave the unit running until is is completely dry. You'll want it to be fairly thick, but thin enough that you can still insert the clear plastic cover and lid. If the final thickness is too thin or you don't rough up the inside of the plastic it will start separating from the plastic after a handful of uses. You're Welcome! :) Also the magnet from Frankford Arsenal is a piece of trash. It's too weak to be effective.

At a minimum, decap and swage before you tumble. If the brass is fairly clean (no mud or dirt caking), go ahead and full length size then clean to remove the sizing lubricant and pocket dirt.

My process (rifle brass) using Frankfurts tumbler and dryer after range day. 2 tubs saves time. 1. Dirty brass only in tub dish soap, cap of simple green only, no media. 30 minutes to HR. This tub is my non media tub. 2. Dry cases. 3.Lubricate 4. Decap,Size, and trim. 5. Wash again, stainless media, soap, lemmie shine, in TAP HOT water. This tub is my media tub. 6. Dry Results primer pockets are SPOTLESS. Brass looks factory new. If you are going to roll size brass DO NOT LUBRICATE CASES until AFTER roll sizing!!
