when you add water to the rockite powder, add VERY little at first and mix thoroughly - you'll need to add a little more to get it into a slurry - i can't be wet like soup.

this is a good youtube how-to vid on using rockite for gunstocks - dunno why he paints it, i don't bother, no one can see it at all ...
