You have to watch anything that has cloth like a Q-tip or rag. One little strand of fiber can move around powder where you dont want it to.

I've tried Q-tips and they don't work as good as your finger- all the cotton strands start to fray and you end up touching the surrounding areas- the finger works best

I was trying to post at work about the q-tip. It acts like a magnet. I was going to try and wet it but just used my finger.

its alot easier to first polish the letters out, spray and then place in the oven till it flows out. Let the piece fully cool, use a scotch brite pad or 2000 grit sand paper to remove the powder on the lettering and rinse off, do a full cure after that.
