testing to see how the different coating processes work
the yellow doesn't coat well by itself but works great mixed

I love the brown ones. They look like compressed sawdust.

We should start an annual CB powder coat competition. I would volunteer as a judge.

That sky blue mat jumps out at you. Is that shake and bake or sprayed?

Outstanding, Thank You. That will be my next purchase.
I just did my first two batches of PC ever. I dry tumbled in a Cool Whip bowl without ASBBs. Eastwood Architectural Bronze powder worked fine but their V Twin Orange simply would not stick to my bullets at all, and I tried two different bowls. I may try to find some BBs to see if they will help, otherwise I have some pretty orange powder I won’t be able to use.
The bronze and the orange were on sale and came in 8oz plastic bottles. I also bought two pounds of their Ford Blue that everyone says works really well but I figured I would use the stuff in the bottles before I opened the sealed bags.

Armed people don't march into gas chambers.
Oranges are notorious for not working well. I have to use multiple coats. some guys mix it with other colors.
Boolits !!!!! Does that mean what I think it do? It do!
look for 85% or higher gloss and stay with polyester (usually TGIC)
Yellows, whites, tans may not work so well BUT they work GREAT in blending colors.
Try adding a little of something else to the orange and see if it doesn't behave.
I live where the humidity is usually high, I use one of my ovens to warm the boolits to 150° before coating.
I'm exploring cast alternatives to lead based alloys.
Can you PC zinc or bismuth?
Thanks in advance from a PC novice.
Zinc is hard to cast. You have to get it super hot to melt. You will also need steel molds,otherwise is will destroy aluminum or brass. Quite a few have tried. You can find videos on youtube. Not trying to discourage you. Don't know anything about bismuth.
