    Gunsmithing Lathe advise?

    Gunsmithing Cerakoting barreled action - oil bleed out?

    3hrs @ 125... then increase your temp to 250 for an hr. any seep will wipe right off. for disney colors, which the anti-seize may stain (moly based products will stain), invert the assembly using copper wire through the barrel or leave overnight at the lower temp.
