    We have had a few Aussies come over here that have stayed. Some of them we would give back to you if they would go. Like Nicole Kidman. On the other hand the vast majority we would like to keep. We could move Joe's operation over here. Got plenty of factory space. Move Trevor and his wife into a nice three bedroom house with a work shop here in Alabama. Joe could make coating and Trevor could coat and shoot them through anything he would like to shoot them through. Even full auto if he wanted to go through the bureaucracy tied to the license.

    I thought I was going to get some coating done this week but things keep happening. Maybe Saturday?

    It's been a warm winter here. Already in the 70s (21C to you guys having summer) the humidity has picked up. Looking at mowing grass in a few weeks. But like they say here in Alabama "If you don't like the weather today don't worry it will change tomorrow". We have some of our largest snows in March and April, our spring time. And the temp will be 1 C.

    Trevor I think Joe is taking some time off and gone fishing. Does he bring them by your place when he catches a few?
    While I work at it, it is by God's grace that it happens. So it is best I ask him what, how and when before I start..

    Ha... Joe??? Share???? Hahahahaha... Wouldn't shout if a shark bit him...

    If I were to move to the USA, It would be Georgia, Missouri or South Dakota.
    Joe would probably go to florida to retire and let the warmth sooth his weary bones.
    Hooroo.

    It's very pleasant here in middle Georgia. Then I could get firsthand lessons and maybe swap out for some good steaks.

    Acetone is cheaper, But flashes off quicker in Summer.
    MEK is expensive, But gives longer swirl time.
    I use both.

    I tried bourbon but it didn't mix with the powder very well. I will try the scotch.

    You need to re read the instructions.
    2" of scotch down the hatch, ruminate and mix well,THEN mix the mix !

    I shot my projectiles with my glock 21 and has great results. But shot 9mm g17 and had leading. My Range lead is testing at 10 BRN. Need info on how to harden alloy? I tried Water quenching after 2nd coat and it leased as I explained. Would the Copper sulfate be the best option?
    I'm not able to buy linotype so that is out of the options.

    Why don't you just look at on this web site where they talk and advise about quench hardening.
    Not all alloys will be suitable for quench hardening.
    If you were already aware that your 9mm was too soft, why are you surprised at poor results obtained?

    I wasn't 100% sure about how they would perform. I wanted to check first before to see results.
