1.) Dry your binder premix with dry-rite, or damp-rid
2.) Screen all binders, lubricants, and actives using an 80 mesh screen.
3.)Come on buy fucking FD&C dye, why use paint, FD&C dye is cheap as all hell, it only cost me like $150 for an LB of 3 differnt colors, and it lasts FOREVER, no matter what size of operation.
4.)Although Mg sterate lubricates the sides of the die, it wont lubricate the faces, add Steric Acid it is the lubricant for the faces of the dies.
5.) DO NOT use liquid lubricants on die faces, this just shows a complete lack of research, it WON'T work.
6.) Adding some silica to the mcc will prevent clumping and provide an even flow of the mixture to the dies.
As a side question how much pressure does your press exert?
