Today I wanted to try out something I had read about... using fender washers. I had previously tried using some 5/16 nuts under non-stick foil, and that was a complete failure. So today, I got a box of fender washers from HD and tried a new method.
I lined the washers up on my piece of aluminum. (Which is just the bottom, cut out of a cookie sheet):
A closer look:
Then covered it with non-stick foil and pressed it down:
Inserted the bullets, "popping" them down through the foil. I am using the MiHec .308 hunting bullet today. One nice thing about using washers vs just sitting bullets on nuts.... they don't fall over when bumped or during moving.
Sprayed it down with powder. This is Candy Apple Red.
I was intending to use HF red, but I can't tell the difference when it is in powder form. I was surprised later, when it started curing.
