DOH! Just re-read the caption and realised "flash on, flash off" referred to the photoflash, not flashing the coating. :oops:
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Is the colour change between the two photos a result of additional coats, or just a change in lighting?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Sorry, another dead end, apparently. I finally made contact with the supposed U.S. distributor for BCB, after waiting 2 weeks for a reply to my email. She assured me that they were shipping from the...

They will when I put it in block capitals SHIP VIA US POST OFFICE ONLY.
You put it in a box. You address the box. You take it to the Post Office and pay them for the postage. You walk away....

If this is true, then my problem may be solved, thanks m37 (nice truck, by the way). I'll try to contact them directly.

Regardless of what they use on their own castings, I'd be fine with them simply being a warehouse selling BCB coatings for the SA company, as long as they were shipping from the US to Canada, not...

Then they should know how to handle a simple customer inquiry.

Very disappointing. Almost a week and not so much as the courtesy of a reply from the "U.S. distributor". Probably yet another small-town capitalist operating out of his garage. Sigh. Oh well.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
That's very encouraging. Once the stock is in the US, I can get it mailed. That solves my problem completely.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I've emailed them and I'm still waiting for a reply. I asked if they actually stock the coatings and ship from the US, or if they're just agents and the products are still shipped directly from SA,...

Actually, I think awayne is referring MP Molds, in Slovenia. This is my fault for taking the thread off-topic. I should have jumped the whole mould discussion to a new thread. My apologies for the...

The quote came back in less than a day, and the price delivered to my mailbox (around $US117) is outstanding. Life is looking good.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Well, Thomas918, I'm happy to report that MP Molds has restored my faith. After a follow-up email, I got a full reply within hours, and they are happy to ship by mail if I'm willing to accept the...

That's the impression I have, and I much prefer the sound of the application procedure, which are the two reasons I had my heart set on the BCB system. And for sure, I found his customer service to...

Neither do I, it's the extortion I mind. Judging by the offhand manner with which you lot discuss couriers (turns head and spits contemptuously!), I'm starting to think Americans don't get raped and...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
A drop shipper would be no good for me, because he's only a hands-off middleman who never sees the product. He just processes the orders, which are still shipped direct from the factory, and that,...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
So how were they shipped? Another courier company, or by mail? That was my question to him.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Exactly. If you're too busy to reply to a simple customer question, then you're to busy to try running a business. Period.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Frankly, I hadn't thought of it that way, but you might very well be right. Understandable, but very frustrating.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Hopefully someone will get moving on this. It could be a great business opportunity for anyone who is willing to do it properly. An established business would have no problem receiving courier...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Well, I have no reason to fault the company; the person with whom I corresponded was extremely prompt and very helpful. It's not a question of their stubbornness that they're limited in their...

Since I'll have several sizes of die anyway, I think I'll make it easier on the bullets, the press, and my arm and do an intermediate step, whichever coating I end up using. Ditto the lube. Now I...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
They'll be sized virtually right away, so no worry. I'm studying the whole idea of Bullet Corp coatings at the moment, but getting the product is a problem, so I may still have to revert to the...
