I and many others buy ground Walnut and or corn from the pet store Reptile bedding or blasting media from Harbor Freight or like places.
Not being "official" expensive gun products I found it works fine but has a lot of dust in in. I leaves a coating on the brass.
So I tried some old school winnowing. It was a breezy day so I put a tarp on the lawn and slowly poured a bucket of ground walnut on the tarp and watched the wind blow 90% of the fine dust away. I did this 3 or 4 times. Just keep your back to the wind. Any old piece of plastic or old shower curtain will work.
Put it in my tumbler, added some liquid brass cleaner and presto no dust!.
We do not use those dryer sheets but found that used Handi Wipes ( Wal Mart hand wipes) that I use at the range or in the car work just as well to pick up any left over dust and dirt.
