I finally tried coating a batch of boolits with Hi-Tek. I have Candy Apple Red.
I used 4 oven thermometers to test the temperature of the small convection oven. Two thermometers matched my oven temperature of 400, and the other two were 440 and 380... so hopefully I'm actually at 400.
I applied 4 ml of coating over the four lbs of Lee 148 gr TL boolits, and shook and swirled them. My shaking container is an 8 quart tupperware box shaped like a shoebox. Overall they have a nice light coat, but I noticed a few that had some small bare spots, and a couple that didn't get coated on one side. I have a feeling that a smaller, round container will be better for coating.
I let them dry for 30 minutes and used a hair blower on them for a few more minutes, baked them 12 minutes in the oven and they look reddish brown now. I'll try another coating tomorrow and post back, with either the good, bad or ugly.
