    Thanks, guys!
    Works pretty good. You can "wipe" the boolit bases against the edge of the "shotglass" (or small fruit can) to get a lot of the excess off the base. Set out on wax paper...

    Some guys then stand the bullets nose down if the meplat is big enough. (Kinda negates the whole idea though...)

    Have fun experimenting,

    BTW, you can come back after an hour or so and dip them again for really heavy coat....
