Hi-Tec coating questions

[ghh3rd]

A friend has started to use Hi-Tec coating, and he's very happy with it. I
was thinking of trying it with some 158 gr boolits I will cast for a .357
S&W that I have on order.

I'm curious if anyone has used Hi-Tec for full snort .357's without
leading?

Also, is there any issue applying gas checks after applying two coats of Hi-Tec?

By the way after reading the Hi-Tec procedures, I arrived at the following
figures...

$10.95 for 3.5 oz of powder (99 gr).

20 gr of powder per 100 ml acetone will yield total of 497+ ml of solution.

6 ml solution to coat 4.5 lbs of boolits.

3.5 oz powder will double coat 186 lbs of boolits, or 8,250 158 gr boolits,
at $0.0013 per boolit, or $0.13 per 100 boolits.

Seems like a deal...

In the coatings and alternatives forum there is a thread called simple hi-tek coating. Move your post there. That is where all the hi-tek crew hang out. You will get your questions answered. I'm pretty sure some of the guys have used it in barn burner 357's.

depending on how well they are covered you may want to apply a third coat.
