Lemishine

I have been looking for some of this for like 3 months. I would normally get it at Kroger but they were out for like 3 months. Found it on the net but didn't get it. Was at Walmart today and they had a ton of it so I bought two. Should last me quite a while!!  Craig

I've seen that on the shelves at Home Depot too.

I use that in the washing machine but I never thought to use it to clean cases.

I think it is just citric acid powder with some lemon oil for scent so if you use a lot it might be worth making it from bulk.

Be careful about using too much of lemishine, as it can remove the zinc from you brass and the cases will have a pink copper color!

I do stainless steel chips tumbling with Dawn and now Lemishine and the brass comes out better than new. I don't clean the brass every time as shooting indoors they don't seem to get as dirty as shooting outside. The 41AE brass is very hard to get clean as it's kind if rough to start with but at leased I know it's clean with this process.  Craig

Just so you know, the lemishine booster that is commonly suggested is just citric acid with some lemon scent according to the MSDS. I got a lifetime supply of citric acid on that jungle site a few years ago for $25.00 delivered to my door.

The Shadow is right. Using too much Lemishine OR leaving the brass soak too long will cause it to turn pink. My solution is 1/4 teaspoon in 1 pint of water. And don't allow it to soak more than an hour (preferably 45 mins). Be sure to rinse the brass after soaking.  Remove the primers prior to soaking to get the pockets clean.
