How to remove sizing wax

[swd]

Remove the wax? I just load and put them ammo box go shooting. I wipe them off before annealing for the next loading and that’s it.

I had to use some sizing wax to size some cast bullets the other night. I put them in my sonic cleaner and then powder coated them with no problems so it worked well. I never use it for brass but after that I‘m going to start.

I use an ultrasonic for brass cleaning. Works great, and I suspect it would work great for removing sizing lube of any kind. A dribble of Simple Green, or similar, and there you have it. I'm going to try that.

I tumble in corn cob media with a splash of isopropyl alcohol.

Recently, I have been using isopropyl alcohol on a rag and wiping the wax off, works great. Then again I use it sparingly so a dry rag alone would probably do it.

That’s what I do as well.

@Fullbore308 rigged up a windshield wiper motor to drive two paint rollers. Drops a case on it, case rolls from one end to the other; clean! It's really cool.

Any pics or videos?

Now up to 90 ways to wipe lube off a case. If you cannot figure out how to use a paper towel maybe you should ship your cases to someone and pay them to do it. Does anyone on this website have common sense.

Can anyone tell me how to get the wax out of my navel after I've finished waxing my chest and belly hair. jd

Attach paper and pull.

I use a plastic container with Denatured alcohol, shake it a few seconds and strain using a regular kitchen strainer, set on a cloth and the alcohol will evaporate in short order.

I don’t get the whole fear deal on this at all. I get clean out your chamber because you don’t want oil or solvents in there to cause over pressure problems. Now back to knocking a little sizing wax off your case, if you left a slight protection on your case after wiping nearly everything off of it; I think you think there’s a problem that doesn’t exist.

Just now I checked Amazon for Sprayway glass cleaner, that has no ammonia. It has been heavily discounted since I last looked, 74%. down to $2.49 on Prime. 12 oz. aerosol

For small runs I use alcohol but for large volumes I use Mr Clean with citrous full strength and swish the brass in a bucket then wash with water and dry. It is cheap and cleans the brass too! Keeps it shiny!
