This suggests to me that a dip in mineral spirits, common oil-based paint thinner, would be useful just prior to cases being dropped into media. They could still be wet. It stinks just thinking about it, but this would be a sure way to have case fouling benefit from the mineral spirits. Any arguments against doing that? I use a separate batch of media for actual cleaning. Final polish comes from a batch of clean, plain corn cob media.
