    ... I don't understand? Are you saying you are trying to strip the brass out of your items? What are you scrapping? Clean brass is worth about $1.70 where I live

    Here we have dirty brass and clean brass. Clean is brass only. Dirty brass has other material in it and pays less. So I do clean some of the brass I get but some is not worth my time to get it cleaned up enough to qualify as clean brass. Mikel

    "Honey" is the ISRI code for yellow brass.
