    Just the pure brass powder - unbelievably fine it is too! I reckon the kilo I bought will last me a lifetime - very good value - not so for the CA though . Still costing $22 a bottle for the thin stuff and, and as Murphy would have it, you rarely get to empty the bottle before it goes off . With the amount of practice I've had now, I can get a fairly consistent 'solid brass' look - just wish ya' could use EEE on it (don't EVER try it!)

    Default Yes, and I want more...

    I used this to make laminated handrails for my house. It is light brown, with no trace of red. Softish, and feels waxy. The hand rails (5 4m strings of 2 x 1 glued with PVA) came out brilliantly and show no sign of deterioration. I need more to make a counter top, but the supplier has gone bust. If you know of any in FNQueensland, let me know...
