  Powder press laboratory scale

  Anyone using powder press for laboratory scale testing and samples?
  If so, any suggestions on what to buy?

  I’ve learned that some folks are using those same home presses for making bath bombs. Not expensive and very available (most are made in Turkey) though I have to think some modifications are needed to conform to each powder mold.

    This is what I am currently using, basically. There is a company that sells “The Powder Press” or TKB sells one. It does one pound of pressure. Shimmer formulas I am getting amazing; it is just mattes. I am on my 10th test. No one sells talc in small quantities anymore.

    Eventually, when I get my own place I want to get one that I can control the PSI. I do acknowledge small lab batches are hard to do.
