What are the different types of powder that can be used for powder coating boolits? I have seen these names: polyester, polyurethane, epoxy. Are there others? What are the differences in them as it relates to their application to boolits?
This inquiring mind wants to know.

There was an actually article buried in here about that or maybe it's on Art and Science of Bullet Casting. Those are essentially the basic categories. It has to do with polymerization and cross linking of the molecules. Cheaper ones like the polyester aren't as hard and durable. Also ease of use and application. They still work though, lots of people use cheap harbor freight PC with fine results.

I don't know the categories-- but I buy from Smoke 4320-- I believe he did some research on the best types. His Durable Clear is excellent.
