amazed you managed to press tablets without being capable of doing your own research. There is no 'cheap' way to get a good coating. This is why tablet pressing should be left to pharmacys and people who know what they are doing.

Tablet coating is a process that can be summarized as the application of an “edible paint” to the surface of a pharmaceutical dosage form. In the past, sugar coating was a common solution for coating tablets, but this process has many disadvantages. Modern tablet coatings are typically film coatings, flexible formulations that are applicable to a wide range of dosage forms (such as tablets, capsules, pellets, granules and drug crystals). The tablet coating process is complex, and involves parameters such as the spray pattern, drop size, and nozzle spacing (in addition to multiple other non-spray related parameters) which must all be precisely controlled in order to ensure uniform distribution of the coating material.
