Manufacturing Lift Powder
This process is relatively simple.
- First take 100 grams of black powder and put it in a plastic ziploc bag.
- Second, take 10 grams of dextrin and mix that in also.
- Then, carefully pour a small amount of water. Mix well (always by hand, not a machine).
The mixture should become thick enough to stick together if squeezed between the fingers. If it is too dry, carefully add more water. Now, take an old spaghetti strainer and put all the wet lift powder into it and squeeze it out onto a paper plate. Let it dry in the sun for a day or two.
Once it is dry, some of the pieces may be a bit large. Just crumble those down. Overall the granules should be about the size of medium sized cookie crumbs, about 10-20 mesh.

Famous quotes containing the words lift and/or powder:
“I pray every single second of my life; not on my knees, but with my work. My prayer is to lift woman to equality with man. Work and worship are one with me. I can not imagine a God of the universe made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him “great.””
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Any gentleman with the slightest chic will give a girl a fifty dollar bill for the powder room.”
—George Axelrod (1922)
