    Lots of good advice so far. it looks like i will try the draino to
    clean the st. steel shot. it wasnt my intention to use the steel
    shot for anything other thanas a carrier for the grit. I am just
    confused why the steel shot now refuses to burnish the silver (or
    polish). This is what happens whenyou try and find a lazy way.
    another idea I had (lazy way again), was to anneal the silber (which
    would bring up the silver agian, pickle and start over. Any comments
    on this? otherwise I will draino clean the shot, buff and polish on
    the polisher. 

    Ill look into that book.
