Bullets, spray moly, and sculpey

This is a sort of a better way of doing things which occurred to me. Spraycan molycoating has to be the simplest and cheapest way to molycoat bullets but the instruction show users standing bullets on their bases in a row and spraying them, and that gets most of the moly towards the front of the bullet where it isn't needed.

The idea is to go to your neighborhood yuppie arts/crafts store and buy about $10 worth of sculpey, the latest version of childrens polymer modeling clay which cooks hard in an oven in 20 minutes or so or in a microwave in about 4 minutes. You roll a line of the stuff out, flatten it somewhat, and press a bullet tip into it to create a row of 1/4" indentations and then cook it. Afterwards, you stand bullets on their noses in the indentations and spray the molycoat on the sides of the base of the bullets where it's needed.

Somebody might want to bump this to the bang list.

Not many Freepers come to the General Interest side of the Forum so I'm sure few have even seen your Thread. I just pinged the bang list.
