I now generally use a 5/1/10 mix for the FIRST COAT to assure a VERY LIGHT FIRST COAT.
I put 3 pounds of projectiles into an 8 OUNCE COOL-WHIP CONTAINER,
add 1/4 teaspoon (1.2 ml) of mixed coating, swirl, I dry overnight, BAKE.
SECOND COAT I use a 5/1/7 ratio, and use 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of coating for 3 pounds.
Dry, Bake, Size.
I initially used 3 thermometers, 1 oven, 1 N.O.E. electronic (came with his mold),
my electronic Bar-B-Que, and the BREVILLE OVENS SETTING to check oven.
All read within 15 degrees or so. Breville SMART CONVECTION OVEN is nice.
Set your oven so it reaches the Catalyst set-off temp for sure, mine I set at 410 F as my garage
was colder, I may reduce that as Summer temps come.
DO NOT constantly CHANGE THE TEMP, Vary the TIME.
