Tom, yesterday I cast about 1200 .380 that dropped out at about 98 grains. After letting them cool down I split them into 3 groups in small plastic coffee cans. I poured some acetone into the first can and put the top on and sloshed and shook them, then poured the acetone into the next can, then into the third. I poured each can into one of my mesh cooking trays and spread them out to dry. Before going to the house to eat supper I turned on the toaster oven to preheat for about 30 minutes. After supper it was back to the shop and coat each tray and put under the box fan to dry for about 15 minutes. Cooked each tray of 400 for about 12 minutes. Ironically, I had an extra 400 raw boolits that I had made about 3 months ago so I put them into a tray of their own but coated all out of the same mix. Three trays came out the same color but that tray of older boolits was a different shade. I was using Kryptonite Green.
When I went to remove the last tray from the oven I shot some of the boolits with an infared thermometer and they all read 400 degrees F. There was approximately 6 lbs. in each tray.

Nothing.
The extra catalyst will just fume off during baking.
It is a waste of Catalyst though...

Ok. I think I may have got a bit too much in first mix. I was having some flaky issues and wondered if that may be the cause

Hi-TeK or ausiglock.

I'm doing the 44 Keith Style and I was talking to Donny on the phone and we talked about 3 coats of coating at the 20 grams to 100 ML acetone as that at 3 coats it would be to thick with 3 coats. So he said when you try to coat the whole 44 Keith Style he recomends that I should do a very then layer of a separate batch of coating by itself to just add color and not so much protection. So what do you recommend as a mixture? I just want to get the lead to be covered when the SWC area is. When I put 2 coats on at the 1ML per Lb I can't get the SWC area to cover up.

[Ausglock]

Mix 20gms to 150mls for first coat. Still use 6mls per 2.5kg of alloy
