    The rouge impregnated walnut shells will drive you crazy.  It's tiny
    bits of shell that get impacted in every crack and crevice of your
    pieces.  You spend much time digging it out with fine end tweezers. 
    The end result isn't worth it.  I find that stainless steel shot
    gives a fabulous finish.  The secret is, Keep your shot clean.  If
    its muddy it doesn't work as well.  I have learned that "Simple
    Green" that you can buy in your grocery store is the absolute best
    for cleaning.
