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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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! " Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know yet. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cholla 1,484 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 The air fryer works well except it's limited in size. See my first post for photos. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
