How do you tell when it is time to change tumbling media? Also what grade of walnut shell is a good size for brass please?

Thanks 

How long's a piece of string?  I would say when there's a build up of dust and /or it doesn't seem to polish as quickly.  It's cheap enough to chuck and replace (unless you buy shooting branded stuff at x1000% what it should cost).  I think my walnut shell is 12/20 mesh, I bought a 20kg sack from a blast cleaning supplier 6 years ago and I still have more than half left!

I put a tiny dash of jeweller's rouge in the media, I like the added fine polish.
