Hey Trap thanks for the info and I am testing a load with a cheap dish liquid with lemishine on 100 cases of 300 blackout. I did the same yesterday without the detergent and we will see how it comes out.  :-\ Craig

Well that kind of failed!!! I think there was too much soap as after it came out of the oven it was stuck together. I redid the whole bunch and even after a good rinse it foamed up like crazy. Anyway I will just try a very small amount of soap. The brass is very clean now :))  Craig

You'll never be able to use a small enough amount of liquid dish soap to ever get rid of the resulting soap film. Trust me, you need a detergent that has anti-foaming agents and rinse agents like a powdered dishwasher detergent. Since Lemishine is a dishwasher powder, you might just leave the liquid dish soap out of the formula and use Lemishine by itself. Now if you have .3 micron silica available to you, an 1/8 teaspoon per gallon should be more than enough to correct the faults with the liquid soap.

Yeah Trapper I am coming to the same conclusion!! I was just concerned after the first few loads I was getting no suds at all. Didn't know if it made any difference so I was just trying stuff!! Seems like most opted for Dawn or the like. Funny as this works so well why do I even look for anything else is beyond me. Craig

Just did a load of 100 300 blackout cases with just lemishine and they came out super perfect and a little suds too boot.
