    G'day Everyone.
    Just to let everyone know.
    Joe is in Newcastle Hospital with health issues.
    I rang him today and he sounded terrible.

    So please offer a prayer for him, to whatever God you believe in.

    Oh no.

    Thoughts and prayers,been there,been repaired.

    I coated a 250 tray of 44's with old TMG and another tray with New Modified TMG today and can't see any difference in artificial light. In daylight there is a little difference in brightness.

    I pray for his recovery, the two times I have spoken to him I found him to be top bloke, I know he finds the banter he gets from Trevor rather entertaining. Regards Stephen

    See. The prayers worked. "Have faith in God, He's on His Throne Have Faith in God He watches over His own He will not fail He will prevail Have Faith in God Have Faith in God." from the song Have Faith in God.

    Glad to hear he's not so bad.

    Despite extra staff precautions on PPE and general hygiene, hospitals are still where there's the greatest exposure to the nastiest infections, and I'm not just talking about COVID. Joe should hie his venerable fanny out of there as soon as he's well enough.

    Heart problems are complicated.

    You should feel good and live healthy at the same time. I was healthy and ok but for some reason I quit booze and cigarettes -and got a heart attack within two years at 53.

    It's been four years now with full medication A-fib etc. At first it was scary.

    Heart problems make you to re-value things, you will get no pre-alarm for a problem.

    That's good news Trev. Petander, when we have reasonably good health we tend to take things for granted, but it's worrying how many can suddenly develop a heart condition (younger people too). It makes my busted up ankle seem rather trivial in the scheme of things.

    Just an FYI for those in the US. I called earlier this week to order some Black K15 since I didn't see it on the website. Someone other than Donnie answered the phone. I think his name was Alan but my memory is not so good. He said Donnie had sold him the business and that Donnie was retiring to do some fishing and such. Alan was very nice and I think will carry on successfully. He was low on some colors and expecting a shipment soon. I really like the K15 and it's the one I use the most. I cooked about 1200 .45ACP this week using the black. I also use Black Cherry on the .45's that I load a little hotter for my G21.
    I'm really glad this stuff is so easy to use. I cook mine in a convection toaster oven which usually runs 400-425F for around 13 minutes. I haven't encountered any problems whatsoever with my process.

    I wonder if our Yank mates will ever understand Aussie humour, I see now why Joe gets a laugh out of your comments. Regards Stephen

    Howdy
    Another day,another try.
    These are cast 10mm about bhn11.
    The coating was 2.5ml for 1100g/2.25lbs ,air dried over 2 days.
    Oven temp was 190-200c PID and coating was 200-220C IR gun.
    Wipe test was good but smash test flaked and the fingernail test scraped it off.
    What causes that?

    When that happened to me it was because I had applied too thick a coating. Could also be impurities in the lead or something contaminating the surface prior to coating. I find it's a good idea to pre-warm the batch before putting in the oven.

    marky123, if that is the first coat, I would suggest it is way too much coating on first coat. Best results will be obtained with a slight stain on first coat, after the first coat dries it is ok to use heavier coats. Think of first coat as an etch primer only, that following coats stick too.
