Powder Coating Boolits

[More_Slugs]

Glossy seems to work best. Anything with "super durable" in the title is plus. There is a sticky showing what powders people have used that either worked or didn't. I recommend checking that one out.

Prickett, do you, or someone else have a link to that sticky?
I'd like to take a look and maybe add to it.
Thanks!

Hopefully this is the correct thread for this question. I figured my problem was too common for its own thread. I'm having problems with some colors. White, orange, and yellow. The powder sticks, but is blotchy and looks terrible. Here are yellow bullets after baking:



I' using S&B, and standing them individually. Here they are before baking:



I would blame my technique, but other colors come out fine. Here is the same bullet in green:



Any idea what the cause is?

Its not you, some colors just do that. Good news is that you can mix it with another color adn the problem goes away. In my case I want it to work, I don't care what the color is unless I am using copper color (for fake jacketed bulets) or clear (for fake noncoated bullets). Any other color can be whatever I get.

Mix any colors enough and you will eventually get brown. Jokes from that are what made me try copper & clear (with success).

I can cast bore-rider lead bullets that work. I can buy bullets from Missouri bullet company that look like my cast lead, only powdercoated, and those work. But those are swaged, I can't get that in a mold,

If I powdercoat mine the bore-rider portion will not go in as it has become too large to fit the bore. I have seen posts where people try to powdercoat only half the bullet, and videos where someone is sizing just the Ogive. I want a bullet that I can powdercoat normally right out of the mold. But as far as I can tell there is not enough of a demand for anyone to produce such a thing.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for an easy fix I guess, but I'll just keep double coating the difficult colors.
