I have used these powders for several years. they work great. I have developed a system of box lids (copy machine paper boxes) for applying the stuff. I use one lid per color and apply the color to the model over the lid. Any excess that falls off goes into the lid where I can reuse it. I have found that I can really go at a model with the powder and nor have to worry about wasting it and about making a big mess. When one color contaminates another I save all the residue in another lid and apply this (mucky black, grey brown) to the inside of hoppers and underside of cars. I have also experimented with painting car roofs flat black (if the roof was black to begin with) and then using the powder over it ...comes out looking pretty good. If you botch a car, you can just wash it off with water and start over.
