Are you applying it with alcohol then burning the alcohol off? wonder if there are different grades of graphite? like sandpaper?
Here is a pic of the lift tongs, jig and hoist old thin crucible full of small lead ingots for a test
tongs are from a friend who we trade with, hoist was a trade, it didn't work but was just a broken wire. the jig was shaped on the anvil, heated by a coal forge fire. I have less than 50$ in it. the swing arm is some fence posts, but I have to drill a hole in the foundation, seems where I want it is where they spilled or poured the extra concrete from the foundation, never fails! always something to slow a guy down!
