    Terrie, I have used carbon steel shot for years. Sometimes I do not
    use it for months. All you need do is be sure it is covered by water
    and there is burnishing soap in it. I open my tumbler 3-4 months
    after using it and the shot is perfect! No need to switch back and
    forth from storage to burnishing solutions. Just leave it in
    burnishing! 

    Again, if it does rust die to carelessness, simpley drain it, rinse
    it, put it into a plastic bowl and pour in a can of regular coke a
    cola. It will be shiny in a minute or two AT !
