desertcart.com: Brass Powder 1-lb (454 grams) 320 Mesh +/- For Cold Casting and Inlay Work : Arts, Crafts & Sewing Review: Good for woodturning. - I just used this for the first time, doing an inlay on a baton for a friend. I used thin CA and basically layered it in. I’ve been using key filings from the local ACE Hardware key machine, so this is a step up. The stick turned smoothly and came out great. I’ll definitely be ordering again. Review: Works great - I have no issue with this powder. In using it in cold casting where you dust with it after making a thick slurry in the resin, it shines up just fine. I've also mixed it with the copper powder sold by this company, to get a nice tan color. Just mix the powders first before adding to resin. The key to any cold casting is to ensure you have a top metal powder layer otherwise it will always turn out dull because of the resin itself. The resin mixture needs to be dense enough to avoid soaking up the dusted powder as it will sink into it if not enough powder was used initially in the pour or coating. For reference I'm using Art 'N Glow epoxy resin, to get my results. Also - regardless of vendor, Brass powder is not yellow. If you want a brass color you have to mix it with the copper powder, otherwise it will turn out green from start to finish. I mainly switched brands because this vendor utilizes free shipping through desertcart where alternatively I was paying quite a bit more going with the other company.

New Dimension to my Resin work
I've wanted to add this dimension to my rsin work for 20 years. The powder (Brass, I have them all) is perfect for resin inclusion. Add a little color and make your work pop! The finish (the result os a very finely ground poweder) is simply amazing.

I love this stuff for cracks in my wooden bowls
This and some CA glue is the wood turners best friend when you get a crack or a catch that you need to dress up. Works awesome.

Nice but super thin
Great but too thin for inlay work. The glue sits on top. It’s just cut too fine

Works but CA floats on top
It works but be very careful using CA on it. If you put in the powder and try to soak it with CA, it will run off (unlike other metal powders). little powder and little CA and build. Does polish nicely
