Janet bought an 8 inch cookie tin for me to tumble lube boolits in, so I thought I better mark it to keep it separate from her other tins.
Wha' ya' think?

looks purty , i also have to confess that i've found the bottom rounded corner of butter/cool whip tubs and peanut butter jars to be ideal (no corners for it to hide in )

I use a 2 quart ice cream container.
Very similar to a cool whip tub, except it's a thicker plastic.
I use a heat gun to heat up the lube/boolits and container.
I have my hand on the container so I know how hot it's getting.
I heat it til everything is warm...not hot.
the Heat really speeds up drying time, usually 10 minutes (for 45-45-10).

I use a large casserole dish or chafing dish. I "shuffle" the bullets just like shuffling dominoes. Never cared for actually tumbling the bullets and find that is less than a minute I can easily do 500 bullets.
I use a Ziplock baggie, put the bullets in, couple drops of 45/45/10 and nead the bag with the bullets inside, works the best.
One qt. baggie lasts a long time.
I'm a butter bowler too,,,lol But I like the sticker! I gotta get me some so my bowl can look that cool!

I use my empty muscle supplement plastic containers. They work great with the twist lids.

I use a Gartorade bottle so the rectangular impressions actually tumble the bullets instead of letting them slide all over. Do it gently so as not to dent/damage bases. I cast pretty soft so it could happen if I went to quickly.
I use the 2 pound empty plastic peanut jars.. fill 1/2 full with boolits, add about a TBsp of 100% JPW, swirl boolits till well coated.. dump out on wax paper to let the petroleum evaporate off.. usually takes 2-3 days depending on temp of the garage..
