Her Number is 843-833-0770 I believe she was referencing just one particular powder coating powder which contains a possible abrasive substance. This particular powder has been debated over at Cast Boolets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Number is 843-833-0770 I believe the powder in question was offered by Harbor Freight. They no longer sell it. Scarlett sells PC bullets herself: "Scarlett's offers lead and Hi-Tek coated bullets for cowboy action shooting and other shooting disciplines! She also offers Hi-Tek polymer coated lead bullets, in RED, of course! " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still waiting on my powder. I would think I could do 100-150. When I get a chance I will check Goodwill for a convection oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 The air fryer works well except it's limited in size. See my first post for photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cast boolits forum say a small convection oven works best because the fan prevents temperature variations. I have access to a cheap air-fryer and it seems to me that that should work the same. Have any of you used one for this? UPDATE: The air-fryer works great except it's too small. My first attempt went well and survived the smash test. I used Eastwood powder, no airsoft BBs, in a cottage cheese container. 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Looks good, I like the color. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
