1st job w/ Caswell powder

[nuttyman]

so I have been using Hot Coat powders for the past year or so & decided to try Caswell products for their strong recommendations & less expensive prices. I ordered a1 lb. of Black Magic & some prism additive for my clears & candie top coats. When I opened the Black Magic it was 1 hard chunk, like a rock! I have never had this happen with any of the hot coat powders or any other powders for that matter. I spent about an hour sifting & breaking down the powder & eventually got it fine enough to shoot. Is this normal for Caswell powders or was this can I received slightly more humid than it should have been? Anyway.....I coated a few AL hubs & wheels with the Black Magic & am very happy with the results-it looks like it is wet; just like it should! It was a pain smashing & sifting though. I should have used my Cuisinart in the first place!

That is definately not normal. It does happen though.If you had called they probably would have exchanged it.

you're probably right but I had a job to do & couldn't wait.
