Re: Too much powder

I've tried a lot of things to unclump the powders. I have sifted them with a large bakers sifter. When I tilt the sifted powder up to pour it back into the container, it's already clumpy. I've tried putting them in a large bowl and crushing them with the sifter (like reverse sifting).

I'm assuming old Rx used a mortar and pestal. IS that how your suggesting crushing this powder?

I know the powder has moisture in it. I saw Gloomisman's post about using a dehumidifier. I don't have one unfortunately. I am going to try the silica packets in the powder containers though. See if that helps.

My brands are Pro-Tec and CC. Some of both are clumped and some of both are not clumped which is what perplexes me. Seems to be more about color as others have stated in other posts i searched. Watermelon is the worst. I mix Watermelon with brown for a real nice Green Pumpkin. I sometimes do two colors on jigs and I've been double dunking. but some of my second dunks are clumping which leads to dripping in the oven.

I think I'm going to try the brush option and sprinkle on. I've used a sifter and "tapped" powder effects on to jigs with good results but it sometimes makes your finish look uneven.

Thanks for the assist Cadman. Did a lot of searching last night.
