Ok... here is a 45 230gn RN that fell off the baking tray and was sitting on the bottom of the oven for 3 hours of baking at 200 deg C.
With it is a bullet that got the normal 7 1/2 minute bake cycle.
Both were smashed and you can see the results.
Both were coated with Kryptonite green.
Over baking only changed the colour.
Both pass the wipe and smash tests with flying colours.
Hooroo.

I like that Kryptonite green. Is that from the powder or liquid?
Liquid. But the powder version is the same colour.
Hooroo.

I successfully coated twice, then sized and coated for a third time. Are you guys sizing again, or just using them as is.
200 degrees C ? My phone is my timer

Hey Trev, what model timer is that?
I've coated 2 or 3 times with the 45 long colt and relatively hot loads--with red copper, I didn't see any difference. NO leading either way..good accuracy... sized after final coat regardless... Donnie recommended some smutz to make the sizing a touch easier that doesn't hurt coating... first it was some furniture polish now I think they have a HT product?
Donnie,
Please let us know when it is available.
Will do
Hi.
Going to coat my first batch of 230 grs, 452 rn boolits.
Brick red..
5 milliliters mix pr 2 kg boolits.
Surfacearea/kg must vary between 45 230 grs and 115 9mm.
Any input on this?
Thanks fellows.
I searched for an answer but could not find one.
Is there any practical difference between the "Black 1035" and the "Gold 1035" other than color? Apparently, both have the gold particles and both are designed for higher pressures, but I was just wondering if either is better/worse than the other when used in rifle loads...that is, where max chamber pressure is in broad range of 35kpsi to 60kpsi. And this would assume the bullet is hard enough for the given pressure.
For note, I generally do not intend to push harder than 45kpsi but this is without gas checks. I have the Black 1035 in powder form.
