Hey guys,  I am looking for suggestions on how to get small deposits of =
rust removed from the bottom of my 104's.  Today I tumbled them and am =
happy with the results to the cylinder walls.  The bottom is pretty much =
untouched though.  There are a few dime size patches I need to clean off =
from the bottom.  Any Ideas? =20

My first thought was to elevate one side of the tumbler.  I have since =
forgot about that idea due to the weight of the tumbler.  It has to be =
around 2000 lbs if not more.  I could break some of the rust loose with =
a dentist tool on a long handle, but that won't do it as complete as I =
would like. =20

I really don't want to fill the tank up too much with the pellets =
because the cylinder gets so heavy and because I don't want to remove =
any more from the walls....Just the bottom. =20

Suggestions appreciated.

Brian
