You are right, because those product can't remove said tarnish from the finest jewelries, due to their large size compared with the details of the pieces to be tumbled. Their effect is visible on largest pieces, but for small ones are almost useless. I have only had this for a couple of days so will give it a bit more of a chance but I am not sure if it's that I don't like it or, or just that it so different to my previous shot that it is going to take some getting used to.
The shapes are 100% stainless steel. However, even stainless steel can rust if not looked after properly (there are many different types of stainless steel, despite common belief some can rust and some are magnetic!). To best care for your shot and to keep it clean and rust free, give it a light rinse after use and keep it completely immersed in water with a little barreling compound. Some people prefer to clean and dry the shot between each use; I don't as it takes far too long - as long as the shot is always kept totallycovered by water, you won't have any problems at all.Mann Tek sizes 1" - 8" NB body material stainless steel, brass/gunmetal, aluminium, Hastelloy, PEEK I mean, did you ever wonder if possible that 5 mm and 4 mm balls and pins, offered by most of the shops, can get inside a small loops of 2mm, or in between links of 1mm chain diameter, and do a proper tarnish remove job? In the mix you get balls, planetoids, and large pins. *Please note: the pins have sharp pointed ends that will dull with use. If you prefer a shot that does not include pins - have a look at our Premium Stainless Steel Shot . Some people prefer to clean and dry the shot between each use; we don't as we think it takes too long (the shot must be totally dry before you put it away) - as long as the shot is always kept totally covered by water, you won't have any problems with rusting. After multiple mechanical tests, it has been found that stainless steel shot has a long service life due to its non pore characteristic. After processing, the surface of the workpiece is bright and rust free, making it an ideal shot blasting tool for non ferrous alloy castings and stainless steel precision castings.

A cost -effective stainless steel abrasive media dedicated to cleaning, deburring and surface finishing of non-ferrous metal and stainless steel parts. The excellent value for money makes the STELUX C the most used stainless steel abrasive media for blasting operations of non – ferrous metals and stainless steel parts, within respect of the most stringent specifications and standards, such as NADCA and ASTM A 380M. Having got in a complete mess with steel shot, it was suggested to me to try stainless steel shot. It is amazing! It stays clean and shiny, doesn't rust and all the "bits" are a sensible size and shape - I had to remove some pieces from my steel shot because they caused scratches! It is a lot smaller with many of the pieces being the size of poppy seeds....poppy seeds which ping and bounce everywhere when I am decanting the shot after tumbling. Although stainless shot is spherical, it is not recognized in shot peening specifications as an accepted media for shot peening. Stainless Steel Shot Characteristics: Add about 0.5-1 teaspoon of barrelling compound (depending on size of barrell and your water - we have extremely hard water so I use a little more than others)
Steel proof is something different, and the mark includes a fleur de lis as described above. On multi-choke guns the choke tubes should also be stamped as being suitable for steel shot.The damage may be subtle – a slight swelling of the barrels at the choke. Sometimes the gun’s owner is unaware there is a problem until this is pointed out.
Great Deal
