What is the best way to apply brass powder ..do I mix up a slurry with CA and apply it that way or do I apply the CA first then sprinkle on the powder or put the power on first then trickle the CA on the powder...hurry up as I have two blanks on the lathe awaiting your instructions.:kiss:

Thats how I do it. I put medium ca where I want it, put the brass powder in untill full and then thin ca to ensure its all covered. Job done. Sharpen the chisels regularly :funny:
