Its not hard at all. The shake n bake method with a yogurt container generates a static charge that adheres the powder to the boolits before baking. Once baked, there is no way to get it off outside of remelting the bullets down, which I had to do once, because of an improper baking temperature that produced poor results. Powder coating bullets is an alternative to "lubing" bullets. I find it to be easier, faster, and more uniform a coating. It may be a little more expensive, but the time saved makes up for it 10x.
