simple Hi-Tek coating

[popper]

That would be LEVEL tablespoons?
Just did a bunch with gold for the GC 30/30 & 308. We'll see just how good it is.

Candy Apple red and Kryptonite green on Hardline 45ACP 230gn RN Bevel base.

Ooooeeeee those are sexxxy! Yes... the US is totally screwed... We have to have twice as many tools to work on anything, could be metric, could be other.. converting between units is totally whacked... good thing they have apps for that now! LMAO

[klcarroll]

Hahahahaha..... I am constantly amazed at how the USA is stuck in the 17th century when it comes to weights and measures.
The rest of the world uses metric, and it is universally understood. the USA uses ounces, spoons, cups, pails, drums, tanks, pennyweights, pigs trotters, dogs scrotums etc etc ... ...

Hmmmm.............

Having worked as a Design Engineer in a former life, I can usually do metric - American conversions in my head pretty quickly; ........But I can't for the life of me remember how many dog scrotums there are per cubic meter! (........Sigh! ....It's got to be old age creeping up on me!)

Being a typically American measurement, it would probably be breed dependent...

Designed equipment as well and also know most of the common conversions by memory, but it still drives me nuts.. a simple base 10 system of measurement is sooo much easier!

(sorry for the hijack... )

Wait until you guys get into Bucket Chemistry, then try to decide which bucket, and is it US bucket or British bucket, large or small bucket, and is it in gallons or Litres capacity, or fluid ounces, .... the mind boggles... and resulting confusion...makes you want to drink by the bucket-full whatever measure is used....lol...lol

[kryogen]

i need to know hi-tek powder grams to cups measurement and ml to oz i am old school. thanks

Are you serious, you can actually post on the internet and have no clue how to figure this out?

or, just like the rest of the world, buy a scale that does grams and a measuring cup that does milliliters and you will not need to convert? Do they really not sell any milliliter measuring cups in the usa? Jesus.
Also, funny, you still have to swipe and sign with a credit card in the usa. No pin and chip yet. It has been like 10 years or so that the rest of the world uses that. Even in jamaica, really.
It just amazes me. I dont get it.

Thought that would get a few comments.......

You Aussies always mucking about down under pokin with the sharp stick. But most of us Southern Yanks have thick skin. Especially us old codgers.

We like the Kings antiquated measurements. And chips are something they are going to put under kryogen's skin one day.

But let's get back to the coating.

I am with you on this.
Ausglock does not reserve his sharp stick to you guys, I get plenty down here as well.
He is making me work like a slave, churning out batch after batch of new mixtures, and, even week ends are not sacred....
If I stuff up, there is no mercy at all.....
If I take a break, and relax, and try and sip fine Kentucky Bourbon, I get plenty of stick.....and ordered back to wok, and he tells me that I dont have time for such leisure and orders me back to work.... Cruel, he is cruel....lol...lol.

[Ausglock]

So.. what does everyone think of the 3 bronze colours???
I need some input so that Joe can work harder on variations to the colours.
I wish he would start paying me............

[redrockant]

I'd like to see them first

Your medical people use metric, steal some of their metric syringes for measuring...

It's just hard to teach old dogs new tricks.

[Beagle333]

Again, please remind me.... how many pennyweights of powder does it take for three spoons of acetone?



(There are plenty of metric measuring devices available. They are not rare items at all.)

[Avenger442]

Well said Beagle333 and War Eagle.

Bronze (500) - #2
Red Bronze (502) - #1
Green Bronze (530) - #3
My order of like.

Can I get an orange and blue bronze?

[kryogen]

I prefer 530 in the bronze. the others look ok but too much like gold colors already. don't need 50 shades of gold.
like the military green and gold
LOVE the gunmetal. It's awesome. I want this :P

(how many squirrel nuts get in a teaspoon?)

[HI-TEK]

All the Brass coloured ones seem very nice.
The Gunmetal is a strange one. If you look at powder/solvent mix in the bottle, it has virtually no colour.
Then, cooking it, developsinto that Gunmetal Dark Blue/Grey colour.
Almost Magic.
I think Ausglock is doing some strange stuff here, slight of hand magic, using mirrors or such.
Noooo......., I am just kidding, it is a very nice colour.

[Avenger442]

kryogen: I agree on the gunmetal is a definite go color.

(squirrel nuts to teaspoon? is that gray squirrel, red squirrel or ground?)

Yeah, you guys should sell the gunmetal I would buy it.
Gray squirrel nuts. I have figured about 5 to a teaspoon... now my issue is with a pint... how many in a pint.
