    Way back in my youth I was feel'n poorly, so Mom fixed me a blueberry pie for desert. But Dad insisted I clean my plate first and I just hate cooked broccoli, but ate it anyway. Pie was real good. When I puked later, it looked just like them thar boolits of yourn.

    Actually, they look good. Y'all are putting on an art class.

    I saw a movie where a sniper used ice boolits so he could not be traced... Gotta be true!

    With a change in materials like that your concern moves from leading to condensation / evaporation
    I would probably butter them up with some Crisco to gain some FPS and create a waterproof barrier.
    But none of you would really believe that would you?

    Most of the day Wednesday was a boolit-paintin' day. Sprayed&baked over a thousand and changed colors many times, sometimes by just adding something else to the hopper.
