My guess is that Japan Drier is more volatile solvent than mineral spirits. It should dry quicker than others. However, a very light coat of 45-45-10(45% Alox, 45% molten Johnson Paste Was and 10% mineral spirits) will dry quickly in the sun, a warm oven or with a heat gun.

Light is the operative term. If you can see a brown tint on the bullets you have used too much.

Buy a quart of 45-45-10 from Le Stuff for $13 and be done with the issue for life. A quart goes a long waaaay.

For low velocity rifle and pistol bullets, I also tumble, size and tumble again. For anything over 1300-1400 fps, I powder coat. However, I have a 6 cavity Lee C378-140SWC that drops all six cavities at a uniform .359. These are loaded 'as cast' and tumbled once. At .38 Spl velocities, accuracy is better than I can hold.
