Tom,
I never heard of that. It sounds like a walnut shell version of those 
hollow "sticks" that you put down into your black water tank to stir up 
the "stuff". 

There was no voodoo and/or black magic in the Bom Ami treatment. It 
worked and worked well if the rings and cylinders were basically OK, and 
the rings were just not seating. I don't remember that I ever used chrome 
rings without having to Bom Ami them.
