Wet Moly Coating, Do I hve this correct?

[ptf18]

I haven't wet moly coated in years. I reread thru some of the posts here but most are somewhat dated so I would like to get more current input before I get out the old moly powder I have and water to try my hand at this process again.
The procedure I think I'll follow:
1) Clean the bullets (100ea). I have acetone. Thought I'd let the the bullets soak in that a bit and then make absolutely certain the bullets are dry prior to the next step.
2) Place the clean bullets in a empty 1 pound, plastic powder bottle I have. Add 1/2 TSP (that enough?) of moly and fill the bottle with just enough water to cover the bullets ( enough?)
3) Cap the bottle and tape the cap to prevent the cap from coming loose/off.
4) Place the bottle in my Franklin Arsenal tumbler and tumble the bullets for????? an hour???? 2 hours????
Is the rotational speed of this tumbler too fast???
5) Inspect the bullets for correct coating after whatever length of time I select.
Once correctly coated, extract the bullets, rinse in hot water and dry in a one time use towel.

Thoughts and suggestions. Thanks

This is my system:
1. Wash is hot water and dawn
2. Rinse suds off, no need to dry
3. Add bullets to dedicated vibratory bowl, say 500 40g Vmax
4. Add about 1/8 tsp of moly
5. Add about tsp of water, just enough to wet the bullets.
6. Run until dry with a fan directed in bowel, about 15-30 minutes.
7. Bullets come out clean and slippery with little need for clean up.
8. If a little dry moly remains on bullets run 'em shoe shine fashion in a towel.

Bullets are shiny and so slippery that small calibers can be hard to pick up.

After a few thousand the bowl is so well seasoned with moly that the bullets may cease to come out as shiny. Just clean the bowel...add some corn media and paint thinner....cleans up like new.
