I tried my luck with powder coating this week. I haven't had a chance to shoot them yet since it is terribly cold outside. I have a few questions in regards to the coverage, or lack thereof. I tried the wet tumble method with lacquer thinner - that did not work at all for me. I had more success with the dry tumble method. But It seems there are too many dry spots on the boolits, compared to some of the pictures I have seen here.
1st picture is from the first batch, where I only used a little powder.
2nd picture I used a little more powder.
3rd picture is 2 light coats and 2 bakes. These boolits have a rough feel to them, whereas the boolits in the first 2 pictures are more slick.
(Never mind the water mark, pictures are meant for my homepage)
What do you guys think? Am I using too little powder or is this sufficient coverage?? You should know I am not in this for the aesthetics... only the performance benefits.
