I have been powder coating for about 10 years and this is the first time I've seen somebody doing the wet powder coating learning something new everyday thanks for the video

I really love your method!... You did a great job explaining how to do it... I subscribed and look forward to your next video!

Very simple method for sure. They came out really nice. Like the colors too! Thanks for the intel, good stuff!

Very nicely explained and filmed! You said that you were new to filming but it doesn't show at all, both filming and cutting is very good! Definitively on pair with a lot of the big 2A-channels! Subbed =D

Nice video. Your way saves a lot on powder usage.

Great job!! Very professional looking and I’m going to try it because I have had terrible luck with dry methods. Thanks for sharing!!🏆

I have been powder coating my cast bullets for years but always had to contend with the mess created during the process. I never tried the process your video outlined. However, I ran across this video after my wife complained about the red powder on my white T-shirt a few days ago and decided to give it a shot. There is a learning curve associated in the amount of powder vs acetone to arrive at the right consistency in order to achieve a light first coat which necessitates a second one to achieve good results. How ever as I am on my last box of small pistol primers and there is none in stock ANYWHERE in these 50 states. I will just be doing this to build up my stock of bullets for FUTURE reloading. Congrats on a good how to video and much less messy process!

Great video gonna have to try this method. Ive been having a lot of trouble dry tumbling as well.

Pretty cool. I will have to try this.good video!!

Excellent video. Thanks for posting it. I look forward to trying this method.

Much better coverage than the dry method, I'm sold! Thanks for the video...subbed BTW, when you say to let them dry completely, don't skip this step before cooking or you will get pimples on the bullets from the acetone evaporating...lol.

Thanks dude for a great video I just started Your method and it working way better than dry!!! That being said I got my powder from harbor freight and I was devastated when my bullets came out in a clunk pile!! Had to re melt and try again with no success😭 then I saw your video and gave it a try they came out way better but I didn’t have the white powder!! I saw the link and going to order some and I have a order of powder from Eastwood coming soon thanks again🤙🤙🤙

I had no idea you could do it wet with acetone! I have been doing it kinda dry by getting the bullets a little damp before putting them in a powder bucket and just accepting there is like a 20% rejection rate! You rock man!

Nice job! This is great to color code your bullit weight. Great video.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I’m also your number 15. Look8ng forward to more content.

Nice video, and nice looking results!

Will try that on next batch. Thanks for your tips

This is the first video I've seen on the wet method. A little more involved than dry, but looks foolproof to me, and maybe a better result. I'll have to give it a whirl. Thanks.

Great video and presentation. I really like the use of the acetone to wet coat the bullets. Thanks for posting!

Best video on the tube on this subject. 2 thumbs up.

This works like a charm 1st time success,...thanks

Excellent Demo !

Over the decades I started out with wax/groove method with the Lyman lube sizer, to the Lee tumble lube and sizer to wet powder coating and using an inverted Lee sizer which is by far the best method I’ve used yet.

Thanks. Looks easy enough!

I tried this method and it worked great! I had fantastic results the first time!.... I had better results with gloss powders rather than flat colors... It does take 2 coats to look good....

I do dry powdercoating but I will try this method 👍

Very good video. Never heard of adding the extra powder.

Great idea, great video.

Excellent instructional video. 👍🏻

Thanks for the demonstration.

Fantastic work sir. Appreciate it alot. Best wishes from Australia

I like this idea, going to give it a try.

Excellent video. I will try. Cheers

Just ran across this. Very nice method. Basically a hybrid with HiTek coating. My challenge was figuring out the amount of acetone to use. Might have to try again :)

Great tutorial!

great work!

I've been doing powder coating wrong.. this method is way better then the dry method!

Nice! Well done.

Thanks , I'll give this a try .

I've reloaded jacketed bullets for over 35 years but cast bullets are quite a different animal. Eager to learn all that I can before delving too deep into the process. I'd like to thank you for this video and will most likely use this method when I get to this point. I appreciate the time and effort that it took to make this video. Again, thank you!

My girlfriend like the gelato too but seriously considering this method I just finished up 1000 147gr round flat tip 9mm last night. Glad I seen this seems like a great way to save powder. And get a nice smooth finish

Always good to quench your Bullets it gives them a fast hardening and cools down to handle faster

Good Video well presented. I am having a little trouble getting a good finish on my dry coat. I just got some Acetone will give it a go.

great video , thank you.

I've never tried wet powder coating. But I'm going to try it now.

Thanks for the video, ive had a devil of a time getting pc to stick, i have about give up and went to 45/45/10

nice method ,i did 2 coatings with dry powder ,if the powder was not doing it at first ,got good result to ,

Good, and thought out video

Gonna try this. All the other methods that I tried were not good. Thanks

Tried this method the past two days. Switched to using lacquer thinner on the second day and prefer it over acetone. Definitely like the wet method over the dry method. Thanks for the info.

6:40 Trust me when I say that the receiving end of a bullet will not care for the color of it. LOL. I actually like the turquoise color. Great video!!!!

Similar to how hi tec is done. I’m going to give this a shot.

Beautiful

great info thanks

Great video thanks man yes I'm well on my way 👍

👍👍 i like thia method i will try it

Great job ... I need some .. got a new subscriber

This is a method i`m gona try. I used to use powdercoat before, but got bad cover on the bullets in the summer doing this the dry method.....probably the humination in the weather is to high "I`m from Norway". So i startet with Hi-Tec and the method is nearly the same, but the cost of bying Hi-Tec is way more than powdercoat. So....this is the way to go :) Thanks for sharing your method.....this is the best one I have seen

This looks like a breakthrough. Have not seen anyone else doing this. Did you learn it from an insider at a commercial bullet casting place? Excellent work!

I spray the bullets with carb cleaner then shake em . I get a thinner more evenly applied coat.

I'm going to have to try this with my problematic powders from powder buy the pound.

Thanks!

Thanks !!

Cool! Now I know how to make a tracer round! *Goes straight to hardware store, purchases flares* ;)

Great video, man. im just getting back into reloading after taking 10 years off. So, will this replace doing the wax or lube for cast bullets ? Im looking forward to trying this setup !!

I have heard just recently that tumbling them dry in bucket with yellow airsoft bbs and the powder too gives them the static charge to hold the powdercoat as well. Haven't tried yet though.

Muito bom!

Another very well done video and #1 presentation.. Who's resizing dies are you using ? Do you resize .45 colt or 45-70? If so what numbered dies are you using? Any information would be greatly appreciated..thanks

Excellent excellent excellent 👍🔫🔫👍

Just getting started, with powdercoating. I may have to give this a whirl. I was reading up on the HBN. Looks like it does an amazing job, on lubricity. I saw it for sale, as a foundry mold spray. HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLET!!! But, have you tried it as a mold release?

I always had problems with the dry method. Acetone had a perfect coat. Only way for me.

That's pretty cool. Hi-tek makes a coating exactly like that. Have you ran the numbers to see which way would be cheaper?

i discovered if you heat the bullets up about 80 to 100 degrees then do the dry tumble the powder sticks really well.

Really looks good. Why the second coat? Your "first coat coverages" looked better than most dry methods I see in videos.

Nice, less powder waist better stick! Have you added more powder & less acetone for just 1 coat process?

i think you can save alot of powder by doin this method . 👍

Awesome video brother great looking bullets. Is it required to lubricate prior to resizing. I use Lee Resizing die kit to resize my bullets whcih laot of people do.

There's evidence that 400 degrees at 20 minutes is overkill from the standpoint of the powder coating curing (depending on the product used*). You only need to heat it to the point that the tgic (tri glycidyl isocyanurate) fuses, which happens at temperatures as low as 200 - 250 degrees. You can tell that powder fusion has commenced by observing the change in surface texture from flat (powdery) to gloss (fluid). Once the powder has made the phase transition to fluid, only a minute or two is required for it to flow out and bond to the underlying surface, and for the rising surface tension to molecularly unite the encapsulating outer skin. At that point, the job is done, so leaving it for a few minutes more is just to ensure that no cool spots exist among the remaining bullets that have not yet made the transition. This wet method that you show is excellent at ensuring uniformity of coating depth by enlisting the surface tension of the solvent ** to align the powder in orderly layers; good job. * Lower cure temperature powder coats are used in the electronics business - in order to keep sensitive chips from overheating, for example. ** Ensure that if you are using acetone as solvent that you are working in a well-ventilated area; acetone fumes are toxic, as are the fumes given off by powder coating.

Great video. Have you tried mixing the solution before adding the bullets?

nice video,, im going to try this this way.. i havent had any luck with powder coating..but you never said what deg you set your oven...

i tried coating some 9mmpreheat bullets dry powder in bowl and shook around. too much powder stuck to them, and after in oven, they are thiick,cant even see the ribs on the ammo, ha lesson learned. and i ad about half cup powder, and just 20 bullets to try out hahaha.wow your way seems better. ima give it a try for sure.. let you know...thanks

Couple of questions. 1. What alloy are you using to cast your bullets? 2. Water quenching typically hardens the bullet alloy but doesn’t the powder coating provide a “hard” layer between the bullet alloy and the barrel? 3. What purpose does the lanolin/alcohol “lube” actually serve? You have already mixed a dry moly lube into the second coating not to mention the reason to PC the bullets in the first place is to not have to “lube” them.

Great video! So, after powder coating you only resize no need to lubricate because of the powder coating is this correct ?

I noticed a PID on your oven, may I ask where you got it?

I'm ready to try this, I've been powder coating for quite a few years on automotive restoration parts. My question is why do you not get paint fouling in the barrel from the heat re-melting the paint?

Great video!!.. Boron Nitride.... Can normal black graphite powder be used instead?

Very informative! Talenti containers are more valuable than the gelato

Lee dippers come in many sizes. What size are you using??

👍🏻

great video. fyi to everyone. you don't need lanolin. cheap spray furniture polish works great. not the dollar store crap but the one at walmart.

Thanks for sharing your method. I'll definitely be trying this! Have you ever tried a load without the white powder? Do you notice a difference? Thanks!

what is the white powder called and what dose it do for the 2nd coat? love the video by the way.

I have had a LOT of problems getting the powder to stick. I live in a very hot and humid area so I blame that for lack of static cling. Using your wet method worked MUCH better, but my coating is very rough and uneven. Looks like crap to be honest. Any suggestions to help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Can you wait months to resize the powder coated bullets or does the paint get too hard and make more difficult ?

Instead of putting one coat on and baking them. Can you put two coats on and then bake them after the first coat dries put a second coat on and then bake it. Is that something we can try to do or no?

You need taller sides on your wire baskets.

i have some 7mm casted bullets and want to use it in my 270 so i would like to know is it possible to size down .287 to .278 (around 9 thou) and then powder coat it ?

I have attempted this method a couple times and seems as though I'm doing it wrong. I'm trying to figure out the ratio for powder to acetone mix. I have little clumps (like unmixed brownie/cake batter) in my liquid that transfers to the bullets for a not smooth finish. Do I need more or less acetone for a situation like that?

Great Video! I have a couple of questions. What CC size is that lee powder scooper you using to measure your powder paint? Also, have you tried the process without the Boron Nitride? Thanks in advance!

What is the reason for powder coating bullets? I've been getting interested in reloading and just curious. It looks great btw
