I think the general consensus was to use a _fast_ powder and 
probably a filler (pinch of Dacron or similar).  Please check
further if re-reading the posts doesn't satisfy you on this 
matter.  Even the use of a fast powder and a filler is very 
much "do this at your own risk" IMHO.  It _is_ and advanced
technique.
