    ? for Rooster Jacket users

    I have some Rooster Jacket lube coming soon, which I am hoping to use on conventional (non TL design) boolits.

    Do you guys who use it just let them dry on wax paper, or do you use the hardware cloth suggested by Rooster Labs?

    How much do you apply?

    I just use wax paper. I tumble so they look mildly wet but not soaked. Not really much different than LLA in usage...Ray

    I've got the itch, but don't got the scratch.

    Hardware cloth is just wire mesh, not really necessary IMO. Rooster works like LLA, but works best warmed up.

    I set the boolits upright on waxed paper to dry, just like when I use LLA. Haven't tried just dumping them out and letting them dry on their sides, touching, etc, but that would probably work too.

    I just pour a little into a ziploc bag, mush the bullets around a bit and dump them out on an old window screen I have to dry.

    I lube about 500 at a time by tumbling them in an old square peanut bottle. Just like LLA, you only need a tablespoon or so for that number. I turn them out to dry on a plastic trash bag spread on my bench. I like them in a single layer. After they dry for 2 - 3 hours, I tumble on a second coat, spread and let them dry overnight.
