But the only way to check is with a gauge.

Huh.. I could go to a gun store and measure a bunch of commercial coating - I haven’t done that yet.

Here is the one NIC resells - if you get into testing they’d probably loan you one, they aren’t too expensive but past QC they have limited use.

Thanks, but after considerably more research I doubt the thickness of the coating has nearly as much to do with effectiveness as application technique.

Will be publishing my article in Rifle Loony News, the quarterly on-line "magazine" my wife and I publish through our website, www.riflesandrecipes.com--partly because we don't take any advertising so have considerably more "flexibility" in what info gets published.
