[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1073954, member: 4191"] Heat is required to 'set' Gun Juice to the surface it coats. You might be able to do it with a heat gun or hair dryer, but it would be a messy hassle compared to coating the bullets with HBN. I'm going to coat my bores with HBN, in addition to the bullets, because the benefit of HBN is realized when it's placed between the bearing surface of the bullets and the steel bore. It's a straighforward, quick step to coat the entire length of a freshly cleaned bore, so why not coat both surfaces? Coating the bore is a single step process. Once the bore is coated, you shoot HBN coated bullets until you decide it's time for a thorough bore cleaning before you might decide to retreat the bore with HBN again. The bore shouldn't need to be cleaned as often due to reduced carbon/copper fouling buildup, compared to shooting non-coated bullets. Some competition shooters were concluding they didn't need to clean their bore between rounds, because their bores were remaining clean enough that they weren't able to see any benefit/improvement to cleaning after every round. I'd estimate approx 40% of the HBN bullet coating Threads I read included some discussion of treating the bore also. The rest only discussed HBN treatment of bullets. Never read a single thread that attempted to explain why a thoroughly cleaned bore should not be coated with HBN. bulletcoatings.com is selling HBN equipment and kits for coating bores, in addition to bullets.
