Thread: Verdict on Selleys Sugar Soap re wet tumbling

Ok lads genuine opinions here. Especially those guys who are chemistry buffs or just 'trial by error' fellas like me.

Is sugar soap really a risk of causing dezincification if you put it in your wet tumbler blend? I dont want to be using a product if it can weaken my brass if even slightly.

Ive always used it because it cleans really well and i only tumble for 1 hour. Just a drip of that, a drip of carwash and a pinch of citric acid to 1/2 bucket of hot water. Then rinsed in cold afterwards.

Never seen a split case neck ever or even discolouring. Actually asking for a friend haha

The datasheet on it states that it contains:

- Sodium carbonate 497-19-8 1 - 10 %
- Sodium lauryl ether sulfate 68585-34-2 1 - 10 % (w/w)
- Sodium tripolyphosphate 7758-29-4 1 - 10 % (w/w)

Im assuming 70% is water and harmless crap
