    Castpics Articles

    Calling Powder Coating experts. I need articles to add to the "how to" section. If you can write and take pictures, I can turn it into the right format for the site.

    Please shoot me a PM if you would be willing to help.

    130 views and no takers. Where did all the self-professed converts to coating boolits go?

    I am not a convert but I am interested.

    I am almost ready to try it.

    I would like to read some articles from people who have actually done it.

    There you go again Will stepping up to do something for others I am thankful for all that you have done and are still trying to do hats off to you bud. I know what you are offering is not a 5 min job and I would think someone will offer to help you help those to come.

    Heck, I've only don a few hundred PCed bullets, so I ain't no expert. I'm still experimenting with different methods, different colors, and still haven't come up with the perfect PCing method. My only contribution would be "How Not to Do It!"...

    lol I was going to pick you out Beagle 333 but did not want to put you on the spot you seem to be one of the leaders on PC as far as post go. There are a few others I think could add to the pot but again I am not going to shine the spot light on them.

    "How Not to Do It!" Is EVERY BIT as valuable to me as "How to do it"

    The perfect method hasn't been arrived at, yet. This is still highly dynamic and evolving. Improvements are introduced and tested or dismissed almost daily here. Let's give Will what we have and keep him up to date on what is working, and the "How to" section can grow as the process and its various applications do.


    I think I'll be content when we get to the point where I can use a spoonful of PC as flux and my boolits will drop outta the mold perfectly coated.
