Cat shouldn't be used for powder coating.

[wyofool]

Thanks for convincing me to try powder coating boolits. Would it be helpful to use a cat that is the same color as the PC. If so, where do you buy calico PC?

Actually, I think you are going to have to mix it yourself. Can you post Pics, maybe smoke could put something together.

[runfiverun]

well if calico can be done it's in here somewhere.

Finally, a good use for a cat...

Is there a special breed that would work better than others?

not sure about breed but long hair would be better I'm thinking

Back in the day plasterers used horse hair to bind the mix maybe cat hair would improve the adhesive qualities of powder coat.

it doesn't work for case filler even when plucked from the dryer.
now Dog hair... that will increase your accuracy by .004%

They make good ammo for a pult

I'm thinking this would work a lot better with 3 cats.

I think the answer to the whole thing is right there.

Take 3 cats, tie them together at the tail, and proceed as otherwise planned.

Been having good luck with a key tied to a kite and the string to the tumbler.

I'm thinking this would work a lot better with 3 cats.
there is no way 1 cat would possibly generate enough static ions for this to work.
now if you had 3 cats they would keep each other going and have enough leftover static to get the job done properly.
2 cats might be enough but they would get bored with each other in a short while and start ignoring each other.

Yep just Tie there tails together
Funniest post I've seen in a while

Don't tie the tails together, PETA will get your guns taken away. Cat hair in the PC will clog the sizer die. R5R - how did you get them in the dryer? Years ago I told my sec. to use the vacuum on her cats to remove the loose hair but that didn't work well for her.

Don't be concerned with any small draw backs. It's common for things to not go absolutely right at first on any new endeavor!

As child, the family down the road kept us awake one Summer with fighting and hollering. Next night someone tied 2 cats tails and threw them over their clothes line.
Such a racket you've never heard. The next morning there was a sign under the clothes line that warned. If it ain't quiet from now on, your next.
It worked.

[runfiverun]

well Popper as chance would have it.
we have new neighbors, those neighbors have kids. [I'm not sure how many but about 6 or so]
the boy's range from 5 up to about 12[ish]
getting cats in dryers seems to be a hobby of theirs, and would explain why their cat thinks my apple tree is it's private club house.

Thanks for your great boolit powder coating suggestion. This past weekend we decided to give it a try. Into the dryer we first threw in some of our favorite Smoke's powders. Next was a couple handfuls of .45 cal 230 RNs. Then, and here's where we deviated a little, in went a scoop of Purina Cat Chow because Fluffy loves the stuff. Finally, in went Fluffy. Cyndi powered up the ol' Maytag for fifteen minutes. Wow! Were we surprised when we shut it down and opened the door. Fluffy came flying out and there was hair all over the place. We managed to separate the boolits from the tufts and bake 'em as usual. They came out pretty good... a little calicoed, though. And Fluffy!? Well, Fluffy isn't so fluffy anymore and refuses to go anywhere near the dryer.

Fluffy loves the stuff.

Fluffy isn't so fluffy anymore.

I've got to clean my screen!!

Try the same method with a kitten. You will only be able to do 4-5 boolits at a time, and the process will be the same as with a grown cat. Eventually, the kitten will think this is normal and become used to it, causing less and less problems. As the kitten grows, increase your boolit count. Feed the cat well and you should be able to knock out coating a casting session in 2-3 batches.

Happy to help.

Of all the people who could improve on this 'hairball scheme'...Team Termath...who else could make 'calico PC'd boolits'!

[runfiverun]

see I told you 3 cats would be better than 1.
now you gotta wait a whole year to do another batch.

I've got a dryer and my wife has 6 barn cats. I can't wait until the next time my wife goes on vacation in Florida.
