I went thru all of my hf red and hf does not carry it here any more. Dayton, Ohio. I tried some other brands and colors but the coat is so thick I have a hard time sizing. Hf red covered well using shake and bake but was also thin enough to size easily. Any suggestions?

I use Smoke's traffic cone orange, zombie green, and a desert sand color (bacon grease?). Why try anything else?

Smoke's Clear. Tough, slick, and I've yet to have any sign of 'peeling' when sizing.

Btw: I began PC with HF Red...and threw away what I had left of it after two or three batches using one of Smoke's powders!!

Prismatic Powder.

Astatic red and Ink Black.

Get a pound of each. Total cost should be around $30 and you'll have enough powder for a lot of boolits.

I use both of these powders and they are awesome powders. If you want another powder their Clear Vision is da bomb. I have several pounds of the stuff and use it on both boolits and fishing lures.

Shake & Bake, like everybody else

seems we may have missed the OP’s point about having already tried other powders and their leaving too thick of a coating for his likes.

my suggestion for obtaining your preferred HF red would be to list a WTB (want to buy) in Swappin n sellin. Surely someone has some HF red they have moved on from and no longer use.
can’t hurt to try.

I sent the OP a PM about 12 oz of HF Red I no longer use, no reply yet .
