gloves

I am not sure what I am going to coat them with. Either mutliple coats of polyurethane paint, or bed liner if i can get a cheap can on ebay.

Leo, they sell some bed liner materials like Linex at automotive paint stores. I did some for a friend and they turned out killer. I think it was like 40.00 for a QT and the gun it did like 10 bars and we still had 1/2 a qt left over.

Is there any paint on stuff I could use or just spray on?

are you kidding -- you just picked up the bowl of molten lead and poured it into the bread pan... yikes -- awful heavy and unstable...
