Now I have got some glue to test.
Phenolic resin, brown and also green.
Used when manufacturing plywood.
Comes with an accelerator that works at about 200 degrees centigrade.

Gives that...

Bull snot and dog pee, maybe that is the secret formula?
Maybe the smell was not bakelite-like after all?
Now I am REALLY SCARED!! Broadside and everything...

Why would I copy an inferior...

Nobody living today is the one who has invented phenol formaldehyde resins.
They are the earliest commercial synthetic resin.
About 100 years or so old.
Impossible to get a patent if You are not...

By the way, Hi-Tek has sent me a private message and I think it is better to publish it:

"I want your name address so I may start action against you.
It appears, that you are intent in continuing...

If it looks like a dog, walks like a dog and smells like a dog, then it's...."The Secret Formula"

Yes, maybe the "secret formula" is just that, phenol formaldehyde resin, maybe glue, 2 component thermosetting glue normally used for example when manufacturing plywood?

Hardens at about 200...

I have three Star-lubrisizers, two Lyman-lubrisizers and one Herters lubrisizer. And many Lee push-through sizers.

I am doing this because when using these bullets I have a clean gun, clean dies,...

Does not look like "HIGH TEMP BRUSHED BRONZE"?
Looks like black to me?

But the main thing is - it works, is easy to find, easy to use and does not cost much anything.

:D:brokenima

Check this out!

They seem to be the manufacturer of both epoxies and silicone powders.

Yes, but then comes another problem, the lead disintegrates.

Happened to me earlier when I was experimenting with .224 bullets and a .22 jacket maker.
That thin jacket could not always hold the...

Very good news!!

I wonder why this earlier HFPC needed lube when sizing?
The black PC I am using (Inerta Epoxy) is very slick, no lube needed and sizing is much easier than with lubed lead...

Good luck! With those 100 litres You might coat more than three million bullets!

Sorry, but I am not a businessman. Neither am I 14 but it might be nice if I were.

HiTek writes that I have told that I have invented this PC-acetone method.
That is not true, I have used it,...

Sure!

How about for example Westcastings Premium Grade Projectiles?

Well, good faith or not, I still do not believe in this "Supercoat 3200 ft/s, no leading and without GC"!

And it always seems to be somebodys "buddy" who has done the testing, ....

Why would...

Exactly. Long time ago we washes hands with acetone. After fixing fiberglass boats. Had no masks either.
And I am not dead yet. Maybe!

What about lead fumes while casting, sizing and...

Yes, the tumbling method works best for me too. Very thin mix, first bullets in the bucket, then the mix and very small amount of it, then shake, then while the bullets are still wet, pour on the...

I have stored it in a glass jar with an airtight lid for some 5-6 weeks, normal room temperature.
That works very well anyway.

I have not had any reason to store the mix for longer periods.
...

Exactly!

Why pay several times more for a product if another product ($6 HarborFreight PC or any other Epoxy PC) is good enough and easier to use too?
And is much easier to get, has almost...

?? My PC is really easy to mix with acetone. It is Epoxy, although not HF. And I am using a very thin mix.

I can only guess how PC would work with higher speeds, since I have not experimented with those.
It is nice if it works for You, since then it surely works for others too.

What do You have for...

What do You mean by this "success in wider applications"?

I have been totally happy with all my Epoxy powder coated pistol bullets.
9mm and .357.

Since Epoxy PC mixed with acetone works with...

I fully agree. That is why I do not believe in 3200 ft/s painted bullets, with no GS, no leading.
But when talking of relatively slow pistol bullets (versus rifle), like 9mm or .357, plastics do...
