Suspending Chrome oxide polishing powder

[QUOTE="Mike shults, post: 6068687, member: 651961"] Hi, In new to this forum, but I need help on mixing .5 micron chrome oxide powder. Into a liquid so I can put it into a mini spray bottle to apply to a leather or balsawood substrate for polishing steel. I was reading online about examples of different things being mixed together for example like salt and water, and the salt is soluble in the water. So what does this mean? If the salt is soluble In water. Does that mean that is an emulsion, or does that mean the salt is now ineffective in the water now? Also i was wandering what miscible means also? Anyways back to the chrome oxide powder. I did try to mix 1/8 tsp. of powder into a 0.5 ounce spray bottle, with mineral spirits and put 3 small bb shot pellets to help mix when I shook the mixture. I don't want the mixture to spray out in clumps, because its a very fine abrasive, its .5 microns, and I figured if it came out in clumps it would be ineffective. This didn't work. It would not mix. I thought about using glycerin and denatured alcohol. If the D alcohol dissolves the glycerin will the glycerin be ineffective if it desolves? I just figured that a half and half mixture would help the mixture stick to the substrate better, because I tried straight denatured alcohol, and when it evaporates the powder doesn't stick to the substrate. So will glycerin and denatured alcohol mix together? Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike [/QUOTE]
