    Hi-Tek outside the US?

    Anyone know of a retailer outside the US that sells this wonder coating?
    The US gay said domestic only.

    The producer in Australia was nice and would sell to me, but 500gram~1.1lbs is the min. and that will last me 2-3 lifetimes.

    So anywhere in the EU?

    Forking out $100+ just to test, that is a tad steep for me.

    What is there to test?
    All the testing has been done and it works.
    Just follow the instructions and you will have no problems.
    The problems arise when people try to short cut the process.
    Hooroo.

    17nut, the stuff works, plain and simple. What do you want to coat? If pistol calibres then any problems will be simple and due to "operator error" which should be easy to solve. If you want to coat high velocity rifle calibres then you may run into problems.

    If you try it and don't like it then I'm sure you'd be able to sell to someone else over there?

    I understand your hesitation, you want to be sure it will work for you before you buy a lot of it. The stuff i use cost me quite a lot, but it works very well.

    Personally i don't use Hi-Tek, but the people i do, don't have any issues.

    Nice positive attitude, Marky! Don't worry, it'll work, might take a little tweaking to get the process right. My very first batch worked, my second batch didn't (my fault) and no problems since.

    Bloody hell.... That is a slow and tedious method.
    Might as well lube size the old fashioned way.
    That would drive me crazy.
    HITEK... all the way..
    Hooroo.
