Learned something new the other day

I've been wanting to try powder coating but didn't have time to fire up the pot to get some clean bullets so I decided to see if I could get the lube of some that I had sitting around. Acetone doesn't do much for either BLL or Emmert's. So next I'll give mineral spirits a try.
The other thing of interest was that the black nitrile "grease monkey" gloves from Home Depot are not resistant to acetone. Discovered a nick on one finger I wasn't aware of .
Have any of you folks doing PC tried it with black powder? I am thinking of coating a few of the Lee 457405 and trying them, but on reflection the lube in BP serves at least 2 purposes one is to keep leading to a minimum but it also serves to keep the powder fouling soft. I'm thinking I might want a grease cookie under the boolit. any thoughts?
Make smoke,
