Rust Removal smaller parts Eastwood tumbler

  • Think about the smaller one, Eastwood 43204. It has a 8 inch and 10 inch bowl. There are not that many long items to clean that would require a 12 inch bowl. I've had mine for over ten years and mostly use the green pyramids with water and TSP (Tri-Sodium Phosphate - Home Depot). After about 4 hours of vibrating, I rinse the entire contents in cold water using a colander and then air dry the parts. A magnet is useful to fish out small stuff. This is the preliminary step before I sent off hardware to the platers. The "Dry Shine" media is not as effective and tends to be messy. The only other problem is that the pyramids get stuck in nuts and other parts with gaps and cavities.
