OK, I'm STILL having problems with this coating! I purchased the new powder (way easier to mix
), specifically Black 1035 from Gateway Bullets, which I received it in one day, which is great!
I have a PID on my oven and I'm assuming the temperature is accurate, but if it isn't at least it should be repeatable. The problem I'm having is, I'm getting the coating to wipe off during the wipe test.
I created a smaller batch for my first use of the new powder, I mixed 1 tsp to 25 ml of acetone and used 1 ml per pound of bullets. As I'm typing this, I think my ratios are off! If the mix doesn't contain enough acetone, would that make it fail the wipe test?
If I wanted to make the mix in smaller batches, would the correct ratio be .5 TSP to 25 ml of acetone?
