Blast Coating is an offensive technique.

Using the powder from one of their bombs, the user delicately applies it to the tip of a weapon, or other surface, in a particular way. When the surface next strikes an object with enough force, it will explode with roughly half the force of a bomb, causing boosted damage and consuming the powder applied. The process of adding this powder is quite delicate, and takes roughly one minute to do so properly.

The strain of the explosion can damage the weapon. A weapon or surface made of steel will likely survive one blast without impact, but multiple blasts in less than an hour's time will likely destroy it. A more delicate weapon, as one made from wood or straw, may be destroyed outright. An extraordinarily durable weapon, such as one made form Goron Iron, may suffer no damage even from repeated blasts.
