Swami,
Since daddy won't see your post until this evening (when he checks into his Motel 6), I'll assure you, now, that there are no harsh feelings. It takes a LOT more than that for him to have harsh feelings toward someone! :-)

Hi Rodney,
How thin do you make it?
Do you mix it all at once or as needed ?
How long before the product exhausts itself and is no longer useable?
How do you reconstitute the powder ?
regards
Peter

Hi Rodney.
Interesting to read you use a little dishwashing liquid as a wetting agent.
TRUE STORY - I was coating some S/S the other day and I too use a brush (a finehaired brush) not an air brush as there is more control and no overspray. The cermark was drying out slightly faster than normalas we were running in outside air temperature in the middle 30's. I recalled back to my old Army days of the good old spit and polish. I actually spat on the plate with a little saliva and Whacko the cermark started to flow more evenly and smoothly.
Hence your suggestion with a little dishwashing liquid was rather interesting
Why not give it a try "really works"
I try and obtain a smooth thinly layered surface and I just don't have any washouts at all.
We engrave an enormous amount of S/S during the week
