Hi-Tek,, thanks again for the mold coat. I use hardline molds. I rub some on while casting, used up my spray can. Liquid is fine for now. Hard iron molds and my lyman molds.

Has someone done this with HI TEK, and if so, how?
I'm not that into the de colores, but what about two coats of one color and the a third of another color dribbled on with a small paint brush? What do you think?Originally Posted by jayjay1
I have some Gold 1035 liquid and Black 1035 powder. I might try this when I get out of the woods in February.

Well. I don't know.
I cast and coat my bullets so they do not lead my barrels and allow me to shoot more.
I don't coat to look at them.
If I want to ohhh and arrrrhhh over anything, I'll buy a Black label Penthouse mag or Hustler.
Hooroo.

JayJay,
Many have used say Black as first coat, and then coated with Red Copper, or Glitter Bronze or Gold as second coat.
One guy was thinking of using Black, and having a thin roller apply a Red stripe along length of projectiles. He was trying to make them look like Red Back Spiders we have here in Australia.
Others, premixed their own brew mix, using two or three colours to get a unique colour, like Green with Gold, Red with Glitter Gold, Black with Gold, Black with Bronze, etc etc.
It all depends on just how much fiddling you wish to do with this, then most importantly, you need to remember ratios used, to reproduce same results over and over to get consistency.
It is possibly very time consuming, and OK for small operators or hobbyists, but what final result is, to shoot them, and not to decorate.
Pretty or fancy, does not matter in final end use, and doing fancy multi-coloured finishes, is not practical to commercial users.
Yeah, well, ok guys, you got me trapped in this.
Of course I´m coating for shooting and not for "bling-bling" first, but, hm, I do like as well some "Aaahs" ond "Ooohs" from the other shooters, because they are anyway thinking I´m having some screws loose...
With some of those bullets, I think I could manifest this kind of reputation through the ages.
Thanks Avenger and Joe, for those tipps, I think I will play around only a little bit.
Some intrested pic..this is 2 bullets fired from .357 magnum at 1350 fps...target load..Bullet is from MP mold 147 HP no lube grove design,coated with HiTek powder version ,Brown copper,3 coats.Alloy is just to hard for expasion but this was just a test load

If you are referring to US based persons, the shipment was delayed through clearing process and with US Customs.
It has taken 4 weeks after arrival to LA to achieve delivery to Bayou.
I was advised, that delivery should be by this Friday.
Apparently, some already had ordered some sizing lube, and as soon as it arrives, I am sure that Donnie will be pro-active in sending them out.
Locally some already use this stuff for all sorts of applications.
Apology for supply delay.
Thanks Hi Tek. Yep i was referring to US users. I spoke with Donnie last week and he said it could be any day.

Hey guys check this out:
Its our 38-115-BRN1S bullet design coated with Zombie Green Hi-Tek from Gateway Bullets. What a beautiful coating. The green appears to be laid on top of a gold base. Absolutely awesome stuff! Way to go Hi-Tek! It is great to see all of the different colored coatings you are developing.
Awesome!!
Called Bayou Bullets and Mr Miculek received his shipment of sizing lube today!

Thanks much for kind comment on Hi-Tek.
It seems to like your machine, or, is it your machine likes the coating... I dont know.....as long as they work together, every one is happy.
