I typically use Flitz Case polish with a 75% corn cob, 20% walnut, 5% glass mixture that does really well. I happen to randomly be cleaning the shop when i found a couple gallons of SG concentrate. I have always been a little freaked out about what is in the micro-fine dust that gets kicked up whilst sifting. I usually wear a North brand respirator and do it outside when it is not raining. It occurred to me that the SG would be a good way to sequester the lead dust and like unpleasantness. What i wasn't sure of was the chemical interaction between SG and brass.
