Glensman Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Has anyone any experience of this? I used it last night, what I did was add some to my ultrasonic cleaner and some warm water and did 18 cases. Afterwards the Iosso was stuck to the cases like grease. It took ages to clean it off and I'm pretty sure the insides of the cases are coated in the stuff! What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5shooter Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have used it but its not near as good as Lyman case cleaner. It doesnt seem to be strong enough. Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff looks like gaviscon, and it just sticks to the cases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5shooter Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Are you talking about the case cleaner or case polish?? The polish is thick like gaviscon and you just add a tablespoon to corncob media for the finishing polish but the case cleaner is a detergeant that you add to add to fouled cases to clean the carbon off. I use it in a separate tumbler with the cases after they are fired to clean them before I start and case preparation for reloading. After im finished all of my triming and sizing etc then they are chucked into the media with the polish. Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a video and the stuff that guy was using was green and thin like bleach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glensman Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think you are definatly using the polish. Well then I've made a bad job of 40 odd cases!!! I can't understand it, it 100% says cleaner on it, and has all the instructions for cleaner on the side of the tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varmartin Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sounds like you should add it to tumbling media, not in a liquid ultrasonic bath.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sounds like you should add it to tumbling media, not in a liquid ultrasonic bath.. Not according to the instructions! Unless they labelled the damn thing wrong and sent me polish by accident. It has all the properties of polish when I think about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achosenman Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 No, IMHO you do have the case cleaner. I tried it in my sonic cleaner and abandoned the idea. I believe it was designed to be used in a bucket without the sonics. It is fairly thick and I watered it down. It is strong. It will blacken your brass if you leave it too long. You also need to rinse the cases in cold clean water after the cleaning process to neutralise, or as I mentioned they will turn black over a few days. I switched to Hornady One Shot and have never looked back. Use tap water to fill the cleaner and transmit the wave and a small ½ litre Pyrex (thin) beaker containing the mixture at 40:1 plus cases. Just stand in the water. Give them 15 minutes to get a highly polished clean finish. Decant the mixture to use again rinse the cases in clean water. The above works well without using all the cleaning fluid to fill the sonic cleaner. You can also use several beakers at once with different solutions at the same time. Cheers.
