Thanks Avenger
I cant get to that mention. Do you have a copy or can you please post the relevant page and details?
Thanks much

That is pretty clever thinking.
In the past I used to get a lot of questions about the effects it has with Powder load, same with the cured coating. Once these products are used dried and or baked,...

That is great. How did you think about that use? The best thing with Aqualube is that it is a dry non contaminating lubricant, and works well with smallest film. I would love to see what you did...

If you are using same alloy, after casting, please acid treat before coating and after you had dried it well after acid bath.
I am also thinking that if you only have problems with to 9mm and all...

I have forgotten to ask,, what was the increase in thickness of casts after coating them? How many coats were used? From some of the photos, it seems to give the...

thanks for posting. Just a couple of questions on your findings.... how long ago did you do that coating? The reason I ask, is that with some alloys that are from unknown compositions,...

As you are aware, all Silicone lubricants are a plague on society. They contaminate and are spread everywhere by simple transfer by touching surfaces that has Silicone on them.

Local transport company also used the Aqualube to apply to the woven fabric on the edge of their large roller door, as it was chattering being opened and being closed. It now slides as smooth as...

I am constantly being surprised by the unique things people come up with using various products. I learn a lot from this site. Thanks all for sharing your great ideas....

Just a quick question,,, did you use the concentrated Aqualube or the diluted version? It may make a difference with how long it stays where you use it. My rationale is, if you used the concentrate,...

Great question....
Using very thinly applied powder, may work well and without needing heat. However, I am leaning towards using a very thin previously diluted coating of Aqualube, and drying....

Hello Avenger
Independent tests were done, to show the heat transfer rates to be significantly reduced by the coatings and are strong insulators.
Two tests that are applicable;

Yes that is exactly what the Texas Tea is supposed to look like. That color was inspired from the TV programmed the Clampetts on Beverly Hillbillies when Jed shot into the ground and...

All colors will give great results, but my favorite colors are Blush Red Copper and Old Gold. If you mix Black with Old Gold you get a Brownish glittery finish. Some put on a very thin black base...

Hello IOON44
that is a good mix, but which Black did you used, the Standard Black or the K-15 black? If possible, post a photo of finished product. Thank you

Wow that would be not good at all. When the coating is mixed with Acetone, the mixture heats up causing pressure build up, so I suspect that this is what happened. Most people mix this up in plastic...

it is easy fix, simply add a couple of mls of Acetone to container and shake coat again, quickly, 10-15 seconds should be enough, then drop the lot whilst wet, and dont keep shake coating...

WOW that is impressive. I cant recall such comparisons being made with Hi-Tek and powder coating. From your results, it seems that the Hi-Tek produces best accuracy and take such high velocities...

With powder coat, you have one chance to get it right if it is electrostatically applied.
It is also difficult to get smooth finishes and thin coats that actually work.
It is not possible to get...

If the coating was or cant be removed with Acetone, it was not done correctly in the first place, and no wonder it failed with rifle velocities. Most recent report was using the Hi-Tek in rifle ammo...

I wonder if he is aware of ingredients in the powder coatings? Has any one considered that some powder coatings have abrasive components, and some contain Silica?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Right on the point..THIN THIN THIN.... You simply do not need thick coats of Hi-Tek especially with first coat. Two coats of Hi-Tek works out about 1.5 to 1.8 thou thick. That is all you need to...

Hello Avenger
Glad you posted some stuff. Have not heard from you for a while. The site has been very quiet.
Hope you are well, and things are going OK.

To update matters on the Hi-Tek Mould releases, if you paint on a very thin film of the mixture on all surfaces that are affected with Alloy Spatter, as long as it is dried well, (allow solvent to...
