Powder Residue Question

cl00bie · July 5th, 2008, 12:50 AM

I have noticed that no matter how careful I am, some powder residue is on the bench after I finish reloading.

I have been sweeping it up into a dustpan I bought for that purpose, putting the residue into a soaked paper towel, and throwing it away. Is this the right thing to do? Does wetting the powder render it safe?

Wetting does render it safe, you could also just toss it onto the yard, great high nitrogen fertilizer.

Do you have any houseplants? They sure would like to get a dose of that unused powder! For real. Best fertilizer, wet or dry.
