I have watched the videos of guys bulk baking and no sticking problems.
I tried couple different ways and never really got what I liked. Part is me being picky, but most is simply not what i would accept.
I watched another video last week and with all I have been casting I really need to coat faster than I currextly do standing each bullet like a line of soldiers.
So, I stopped in a store that had some mesh baskets recomended by one of the videos. I robbed the wifes drawer of a couple more take out plastic containers amd took about 100 culls from todays casting and shake n baked them all at once. Using the basket, 300 degrees and 15 minutes time.
They came out and I dumped them into a bucket of water basket and bullets. NOTHING STUCK!!
I took a 40 bullet and pounded it into a nickle sized green disc. NOTHING CAME OFF!
I took a second 40 bullet and pounded that into a cube again nothing chipped or flaked off!! WINNER WINNER!!
So I grabbed about 150 175g 40 bullets and shake n baked them same methods. Another good batch!
Last batch was about 250 ish 145g 40’s. I also changed up colors to grape. Same methods. SAME RESULTS!
I am very happy!! This will save me allot of time on these bulk bullet processes. Ill still powder coat with my stand up method as it does make a “prettier” bullet these look real good. Im sure there will be no difference in preformance. But looks are important sometimes too.
This was very first batch just dumped in the mesh basket and baked. (These are cull bullets. They where headed back to the pot)
This was second batch the 175g 40’s. I miss takenly dumped second in with the first that where CULLS.
This last batch is the 145g 40’s coated in grape.
