No oven? you can still powder coat

[jaysouth]

I use a five by five piece of soft steel, 3/8" thick to put on top of a hot plate to keep my molds hot when casting.

Before I could replace my oven that died, I thought that coated bullets stood on the steel place would cure from heat convecting up from the steel plate.

I tumbled some Lee 200 gr. SWC bullets in Eastwood light Ford Blue powder. I lined the top of the plate with parchment paper and stood the bullets on the steep plate while the hot plate was cold. When done, I turned the hot plate on high for 5 minutes. I turned it down to low for ten minutes. I unplugged the hot plate and let the bullets cool.

Of the 80 bullets that I loaded on the plate, all were well coated and ready to shoot except for 4 or 5 that had slumped.

The parchment paper burned in the center of the hot plate telling me it got a lot hotter than 400 degrees. Next time I will try non stick AL

One bullet from the center of the plate and one on the edge both passed the hammer test.

Thinking outside the box.very inventive.

just put a pan or bucket shaped thing on top of a plate and it basically is an oven

The lengths some of you guys will go to save $5. Just visit your local Goodwill store and pick up a used little counter top oven.

Mine cost me $6...but yeah...I agree. Then you have a dial and a timer too.

Hey junior, hold my beer and watch this. I can cure bullets on an exhaust manifold.

You just gotta think out side of the box every now and then.

Fun to see what works, but unfortunately no way to control the process and uniformity. The secret to firearm accuracy is uniformity. I also would suggest getting an oven that will get up 400F and hold a steady temp. My Hamilton Beach Countertop Convection oven set me back $15 at Goodwill.
