Powdercoated 45 acp and 40 s&w today and used silicon mats to cook on. My wife was kind enough to buy me one and since my cookie sheets are small I was able to cut it in two and use both sheets. Worked well, but I do have residue on the mats. Have any of you used them multiple times to see how they hold up over time or if the residue causes any problems? I really liked them, but it could get very expensive if they don't hold up. Much easier than either non stick aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lays much flatter.
Did notice something though. I used Harbor Freight red on the 45 acp and Smoke's Carolina Blue on the 40's. The blue covered much better. Got some spots on the reds that didn't cover, but will use them anyway and see what happens. Has anyone noticed this, that Smoke's powder covers better or is it because the 45's are so big it is harder to cover them. If it is the powder, I will have to get some of Smoke's red as my wife wants her lipstick red 45's!
