No way! Well, got plenty of the good old Dextron tran fluid around. Thanks for that! I will sure give it a try. I got 2 or 3 tins of the chicom pellets arriving today and another pack or so tomorrow.

Just a light polishing of it on the pellets .. near the look there lubed but dry . Lol.. you'll get the feel of it as you go . It took me several times to narrow my process to better it ..

Thanks Hateful. I will sure give it a shot, doing just 1 tin each time. Do you just lightly drip some on your lube rag, then shake or roll them around to get each pellet?

Ya, I call it doing it a shoeshine action with the pellets in the rag to tumble buff the lube on as even and light as possible ( unless I get heavy handed and oops a bunch of ATF on the rag)

Gotcha, I will go very lightly on the atf!

Just trial and error till you get the rag saturated just right to keep reusing it by adding a drop or two to refresh as you go .. that rag I showed above was fresh new not a rag I been using .

Ok. I will go slow and steady with the fluid. Thanks for the info Hateful. I will try to put it to good use and practice.

Ya ya just got to find your best way to do it them up .. I like the tumbling all the way so to insure I knock all the crap off I can especially the lead flakes and round off any casting marks .

I think the tumbling does more then anything overall

The wife has a rock tumbler, looks identical to that. Might have to give that a whirl, she hasn't used it in a coons age anyhow. Needs to be put to good use.
