Anybody else try adding Comet to their tumbling media?

You should, and I'm NOT KIDDING, throw all of that brass away, and be pissed off at your buddy who suggested it.

I can't get mad at my buddy about this. He didn't tell me to use comet. He said his dad was trying some other clean, and I tried what I had on hand. I put it into some walnut that was all but done, so the media was not really a loss. I also tried it on some brass that was no good anyhow, so I am not out any brass. Now, my question is, if the comet is still dry, have I activated the alkaline content of the comet? I know it gets a lot more harsh once its wet. I have had this brass coated with powdered comet for almost three weeks, and have not seen any change.
