I am going to start casting soon, and I'm in the process of selecting equipment. I'm a little stumped on the lubing portion and what kind of melt pot I should be looking at. I thought I'd come to this forum to ask about the lubing.
For the lubing, I'm trying to decide between powder coating and tumble lubing. I understand some of the issue with powder coating, mainly handling the boolits with tweezers being something of an annoyance.
Tumble lubing with Lee Alox is known to be messy, but I've been looking at this stuff as an alternative: http://lsstuff.com/store/index.php?m...products_id=47. Found this after reading a forum post here about 45/45/10.
Two questions on lubing. 1) Between tumble lubing and powder coating, which is usually the least hassle? 2) If tumble lubing with 45/45/10, once I run lubed boolits through a sizer, do I have to relube them afterwards?
