As far as I'm concerned, it's either use them dry . . .
. . . or it's not worth the hassle.
I will admit I can see that they'd likely polish the cases up somewhat better than walnut hulls, but I'm not after a brilliant shine, just clean.
I'll also admit that using them wet might very well prevent the (relatively) hard pins from prematurely wearing the cases, but that's just speculation on my part.
In addition, I'm not absolutely certain they'd actually "tumble" in my Thumler without interior paddles as mentioned below.
