Where do you buy Mica powder?

jcadwell · 05-04-2006, 10:37 AM

I'm having a hard time finding mica locally, or even online. Any suggestions about where it is commonly found? Does powdered graphite work if I am trying to dust bullets treated with Lee's Tumble Alox?

Thanks.

Yep, bought mine at Midway. Got the 4 oz jar, man, thats a lot of mica. Darn near the same size jar as a pound of bearing grease.

Bought a pound on ebay about a year ago. Was cheaper too.

Did a search for it and found it listed under cosmetics. The seller claimed this was much finer than the stuff used as a lube. I couldn't tell the difference. It works the same
