    Tripp, If I'm not going to PC right after I cast my boolits I put them in zipper bags ensuring they stay clean.

    Hey, I have a dog in this fight! I use acetone to clean the cast boolits before coating. I put them on top of the oven to dry, not in it. It takes about 10 or so minutes. Then I shake the crap out of them and put them in the oven, as per smokes instructions. Works like a charm!

    I was having trouble getting the powder to stick in this VA humidity. Chucked the powder bag (open) and two jars of boolits in the gun safe. After 3 days with the Goldenrod and an EvaDry dessicant it stuck no problem.
