Hi Tek problems. Smoking and rough finish

[bazzer485]

I’ve just coated my first 45acp boolits ( 223 gn and 6.6 gn Power Postol) and shooting them I’ve more smoking than with conventional lubed boolits. I gave them three thin coats, they didn’t turn out smooth at all, the color is Kriptonite Geen. They past both the smash test and the acetone rubbing test. So are my results normal? I did start reading the Hi Tek thread, but 629 pages is a little time consuming. I really would like to get rid of the smoking issue, I don’t really care about color or the rough textured finish.
Thanks

Is there any burnt plastic odor? The only smoking I've ever heard of with HiTek is from under cured coatings, and usually there is an odor when fired.

Rough texture can be from a thick mixture or from tumbling the batch too long.

Repost in the hi tek thread. When Joe spots it he will get you lined out otherwise you are going to get a bunch of different suggestions that will do nothing but confuse you. Stick with what Joe says,he is the man.
