A little girl seems to hang around my back yard from time to time asking questions and telling stories as only little girls can. I don't mind, if fact she is kind of special to me and I know she is missing her daddy. He is on his third tour in the sand box as one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. Anyway, she shows me her pink My Little Pony and tells me they are real and someday soon they will all come to life, millions and millions of them all real pony size for little girls to catch and ride.
Got me to thinking, millions and millions of them roaming around the neighbourhood waiting for little girls to catch them could become a problem.
The next day my nephew drops by and asked me to cast him up a bunch of 38 bullets and powder coat them. My old man brain got me to thinking why not have some fun and make My Little Pony defence bullets. So into the powder coating tub goes a spoon full of white and a spoon full of red. It worked so well I went ahead and coated some 45 bullets for my 45 Colt just in case some of those pink ponys get real real big, like draft horse big.
The Results surprised me.
Then I got to thinking about some of the powders I have that work real well and a couple I have that will not work with the shake and bake method at all. Would a mixture work? So into another tub goes a spoon full of white that works and coats like a dream along with a high gloss black that only works with a powder coat gun. Bingo, it comes out speckled and make a dark granite coloured coating. I thought they were kind of cool too.
That is what you get when you let an old man play unsupervised. :grin:
