Quoted from JodyG:I use corncob...got a big box of it off Amazon. Throw a dryer sheet in there with your parts, and the sheet will collect all the removed garbage off the parts, and will keep your media clean.
what are these dryer sheets? is this a usa thing hehe?
my media gets very dirty sounds like these sheets will help solve that issue
20190327_185618 (resized).jpgI always read wallnut for cleaning and corn for polishing.
I have run some really corioded (thought i was going to have to chuck them) parts in the other day for 48 hours with some novus2
ill next put them in corn cob with some metal polish and run for 24hours see if they shine up any more 
I'm assuming the dryer sheet is only needed for the cleaning run.
Quoted from pinstyle:I think one thing I did not like about the corncob is having to weed through it to find the smaller stuff. My usual method of sifting out things did not work out with the corncob being it is so large. Another thing I noticed is every single nut had corncob stuck in it, unlike the walnut with only occasionally having some stuck in a nut. I think the corncob is probably ok for larger stuff. I will probably use what I have left and likely switch back to walnut.
I had a simular issue but using a magnet on a stick it picks everything up in a couple sweeps

Quoted from Winger03:Will Novus 2 work with metal pieces (lane guides, screws etc.) in a tumbler with walnut?
I run 3 days novus 2 and wallnut which really cleans the parts up. Then 1 day metal polish and corn cob to really shine then up.
Results are amazing.
