[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2981827, member: 15054"] Yep Harbor Freight powder coat for less than 7 bucks and a toaster oven. I just took fresh made lead bullets that were not touched by oily hands and put about 25 of them into a plastic cottage cheese container with a little powder coat poured onto them say 1/2 teaspoon and I cut up about 20 small 1" squares of walmart plastic bags tossed then in also.. stuck the lid on and swirled and rolled around the bullets in the container. Let it set for 1 minute and opened it up and plucked the bullets out with tweesers. Placed them on the aluminum rack and into the preheated toaster oven for 20 minutes. Let cool and tried to remove the standing bullets from the pan. Yea I now know why people use non stick aluminum foil. Those bullets are stuck chuck. Here is what I noticed though. I cast this batch of bullets on the soft side and you can easily scrape lead from the non coated bullet with your fingernail. You can't scrape anything from the coated one. Today is my first attempt at powdercoating. Off to the store to get some non stick foil Edit: I removed the cut pieces of walmart plastic bag and they coated just the same. another batch cooking on non stick foil this time. [/QUOTE]
