Shellac works well in this application, due to its brittleness the bullet breaks evenly from the case and doesn't leave even lumps on the bullets base that could effect accuracy.

Never tried lipstick as you are the expert how would it work?

Regarding the sailors, only if they are into bears.

In my position as your official senior technical testing officer do I get to test these rounds on Tuesday ?

I have used nail varnish as a paint lock on trigger screws in the past however I do agree these days it does not seem the same.

Hmm.... I can see we need to come up and see you on a day you are making smoke as I am fascinated by such things.

You know you are weclome.
