The alternate is a Hobart (restaurant duty mixer), and those things are _expensive_. [High power model rocket motor and fireworks manufacturers use Hobarts to mix large batches of propellants.] You could always put in a couple shovels of sand, some water to make it a thickish slurry and run the machine for a while. That'll sand most of the rest off. -- Chris Lewis, Age and Treachery will Triumph over Youth and Skill It's not just anyone who gets a Starship Cruiser class named after them. |

Run a batch or two of concrete in it. I really don't think there
is anything in light residue that could harm concrete, the only things that really affect concrete is sugar and some sulphate compounds, neither of which I would expect in makeup. If you are really worried, run a batch of sand, gravel, and water and let it run until you have new shiny steel. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .

Cosmetics are the most common, base, and ordinary things dressed up to look glamorous. Basically ground up rocks mixed with grease. The essence of the business is to create an illusion of elegance, when the physical reality is the opposite. Best not to think about this too much. |
