Well, I know why high power shooters aren't using it.
It's extremely difficult to apply evenly on such a small part without building up several coats resulting in .030 thicker than when you began. Then reinstalling. Don't even try while installed, you end up with a damn mess.
Figured this out last night....
My zero is 100 yards so my front sight post is now set and I won't touch its elevation. I have enough on the rear sight to shoot the course and not touch the front. Ideally I would be a 200 yard zero but the way things worked out it was 100 out of the gate with zero adjustment and I can calculate from there. To harken back to doing irrational things based of feelings, I'm taking this as a sign to just roll with it as is and don't touch or it's going to be magnitudes more difficult to bring it back to perfect. I know I should but I won't due to illogical and irrational reasoning.
I've also read lighting a piece of masking tape on fire produces the same dark soot from the acetylene/carbide burn.
I'm experimenting, reinventing the wheel for no reason other than why not.
