Left tumbler on all night accidentally.

No thinning problem.
But squeaky clean brass may need some extra lube on the first few brass into a full length die.

The surface zinc may have been partly removed?

Already sized and ready to load, just tumbling to get excess lube from casings so they wouldn’t stick in the mag or chamber.

Good.

Never was an issue.

No body has asked, so I will. With the incredible noise my tumbler (wet pin) makes, how in the heck could you ever forget it? Mine makes so much noise, I have to roll it outside or wear ear protection. If I did forget, I'd get a call from my neighbor.... Just saying.

+3 on using a timer (but its a mechanical 24 hour one, so if I completely forget, it comes back on).
I also set a timer on my smartphone.
I use corn cob, so agree with above posts, it can go for days. Other media types are not as friendly.

You tumble your smart phone with corn cob?

I use a Christmas tree timer that has "dusk to dawn", 2 hrs, 4 hrs and 6 hrs that I put on my vibrator (vibratory, for @riflewoman only) and set it and forget it!

Mine is in my basement reloading room so never hear it upstairs.

What kind of tumbler you got? My thumlers with brass, pins and full of water doesnt even make me turn the radio up.

Try a timer with an on/off switch that is set to your exact spec’s

Mine is a home built using 7/16" thick heavy wall 8" X 23" PVC water pipe, and it is just as noisy as a Lone Star tumbler heard here in post #6. http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/lonestar-tumbler.3994258/

Not likely...……. Besides it takes two men and a boy to lift and move that tub around when full of brass, pins and water.

I use this timer. Easy to set and works great
