Powder coat question

First try with PC.

I'm using HF red on some 9mm RN pills.

The Oven was smoking a bit

400ºC for 30 minutes

What happened?

I didn't see the 440 C. I bet 400 F is the desired temp. 400 C is 752 F. Your bullets melted and the PC charred.

SURE you did...

Anyway, I suggest you put the bullets back together with JB weld and shoot them in a hundred year old rifle with the sights held on with more JB Weld.

First clue should have been 9mm pills. I sell pills but never cast or shoot any.

Yeah, LOL, I dislike the term Pills as well, but figured it's be a term used by someone who'd char some PC, LOL :p

You are right on that Jon.
Last time I casted some pills, or bullet heads, I had a hard time opening the spruce plate.

hey now JB weld is perfect for locking 3/8 dovetail sights into the oversized Rossi dovetail cuts.
it's better than a shim cut from a redbull can anyway.

I didn't even know you could get a toaster oven up to 400-C.
