HI-TEK-LUBE Bullet Coating

[buckeye43210]

There's a discussing over on the Loadmaster Vedios Forum about the HI-TEK-LUBE Bullet Coating process that looks promising.

It looks similar Orochimaru's Adventures in Powder Coating process, but without the need for the electrostatic equipment.

There's another thread over on the Cast Boolits Forum discussing this process.

Happy Hacking!

not needed... buy the powder from harbor freight, mix with lacquer thinner and "shake N bake"... nothing needed but a toaster over

According to this thread over at cast boolits, you can skip the lacquer thinner and add some 6mm airsoft pellets.

I just scored a pount of Harbor Freight red and plan on giving this a try.

This method works very well for me...

Looks good. Did you use the dry tumble method?

Yep, cool whip bowl, Harbor Freight Red, and plastic airsoft BB's.

Is there a reason for specifying red, or is it just a matter of preference?

The Harbor Freight red powder coat seems to work better than their other colors for dry tumbling. Their flat black powder coating is reported to not work well with this method.

Some people refer to the red powder coated bullets as terrorist lipstick...

The dry tumble method depends on static electricity developed by shaking in the polypropylene bowl. The red powder seems to have more "static cling" than the other harbor freight colors for better coating. The HF line of powder is cheaper by far than most other lines so most people use that. I don't have experience with other colors from other online sources.
