1st *****,used too much coating.
Oven didn't reach prescribed temp.
Also I wasn't letting it dry long enough before baking.
I remedied all three errors, and here's what I came up with today.

I fired about 10 of them in my M&P 9. I think I noticed some streaking in the barrel, but pretty much lost my light for the day. These bullets in the pics got three coats: 5-1-5, 1/2 tsp per 100 each time. You can see a smashed bullet in the pics. It took two hits, not sure if I'm seeing flaking. I believe maybe my final result could be a bit thin. With some effort I am able to get to the lead with a thumbnail. But, hell, what do I know?
At least today was better than yesterday.
And thanks ausglock for dialing me in. :-)
