    Dumb Powder Coat Question Of The Day

    First I started out using HF red , learned I was not very good at powder coating. Then I got some Smokes powder coating now I am an expert, sticks nice to bullets I am sure I could powder coat a dirt lump. So my cousin sends me some powder from someone called Prismatic . Does anyone know if this powder works or not ? Help if you can don't want to waste my time with some bad powder. Thanks

    The brand is not always as important as the type of powder it is if you are using the shake and bake method. Try just a few boolits and see how it works.

    I saw this color shifting powder called Prismatic Universal and it caught my eye

    You need a high gloss powder (85% or higher) to work with shake and bake.
    Low gloss or flat will not work with shake and bake.

    Just staying at home and playing with multi-color boolits.

    Try it. If it doesn't work throw the bullets back in the melt pot.

    I agree. You need remember our shake and bake method is not how powder was designed to work. So only way to know is to try. As mentioned it is NOT a brand issue. Smokes always works cause he is one if US and knows what he sells and how we will use it.

    Good luck
