    Despite many testamonials to the contrary detergent of any kind is
    going to attack the rubber in your casting drum. This results in the
    dissolved rubber being deposited on your work and shot. 

    When I made this discovery many years ago I found that by putting
    about a teaspoon of Bon Ami (a polishing cleanser) in the drum with
    your shot and water, letting it go for an hour or two, was all that
    was necessary to clean everything up. 

    Use the Loretone non-detergent tumbling compound. It's cheap and
    won't kill your drum. Around where I live hobby shops carry it.
