Powder coating system

The Elvis Ammo youtube vids are a wealth of info....Colonel Sanders of shake and bake experimentation....

Been watching videos on powder coating bullets.

Some throw in plastic air soft bb's. Seems to increase the electrostatic charge and coats the bullets better.

I put the bullets and powder in a medium zip lock freezer bag then put that in the #5 container and swirl away. The plastic on plastic seems to generate enough static for me.

I have tried the air soft and can notice no difference in shake & bake without them so quit the bother of using them, they may help in high humidity areas but in the desert of central Ab. not so much.

OCD- maybe- been following what others have told me. To me - it makes sense for the steps, but I certainly get it - you never want to have to clean melted lead from barrel...it is not fun...at all.

And I thought I was the only one who was that OCD. Welcome to the club, brother.

Creating static is not the be-all, end-all. Acetone use is to be avoided. ElvisAmmo pioneered powder coating as far as I know. His process of heating the bullets first, to a temperature that one can hold in their hand without burning, then adding powder coat & swirling is still the best IMNSHO.
It's the gold standard for great powder coating. Employ quality powder & ElvisAmmo's process gives great results.

I own a similar system from a different manufacturer. You need an air compressor. It works quite well, indeed. You need to use a polyester based powder for best results.
