Don't see why not, it's powder paint. Only down side to it is the cost of the little jar compared to what you can get one pound of powder for from Eastwood or the such. I use it all the time for...

I have been able to order from them. I know at one time GA residents couldn't order from them, but as if recently I've been able to.
For sprue plate lube and alignment pins try Permatex high-temp brake caliper slide lube, the stuff in the green bottle. It's a high-temp synthetic grease that has no drop point, meaning it won't...

BrutalAB, if I'm doing bass jigs or umbrella rigs I just place them with my meat paws. Hooks and wire for those are big enough that I don't have to worry about touching the mold.

Makes my heart feel good, that there are others trying to do the same thing with their 338 Win Mag that I'm trying to do. I've got a couple of molds that I've picked up over the years newest to me...

I'll trade you if you want the new style. I've got a brand new valve never been used and a used handle.

Got a newer Lee 4-20 bottom pour pot and noticed that Lee changed the valve rod. When did they do this? And better yet why would they do such a thing. The older pot has a small screw to adjust the...
