I soaked my 38-40 brass in Simple Green to clean it off and left it overnight and the brass turned colors (mainly blue) that looks like Uburti's case hardening. After I rinsed it off it is still colored. I don't know if it damaged the brass but I don't think that it is serious since these rounds are lightly loaded for Cowboy Shooting. Does anyone have any ideas? The Simple Green does not say anything about not applying to brass and does not say anything about contaning ammonia.
