    Friends-- Does everybody really remove and dry their shot after
    tumbling? 

    My experience with a tumbler comes from the art center where I
    teach. We used the same steel shot (not stainless) for 8 years that
    I know of, and it was never dried. As long as the liquid level
    covered it, it didn't rust. When it did get a bit rusty, we'd rinse
    it, put in new liquid, and that's all. Now we have stainless, and it
    has never been out of the solution, either. No problems. Why remove
    and dry it?  Noel
