Hi Joe -

I like the bronze powder available from Walter Wurdack, Inc.  It is the
same exact bronze powder that Steinway sells (so I'm told), but for a
very small fraction of the cost.  A 1 lb can from Wurdack is about the
same price as a couple ounces from Steinway.  Works great in
nitro-cellulose.  (314)351-6600.
