    I've recently read in a jewelers construction book by Madeline Cole
    of a material called powdered red rouge.  It is used like yellow
    ochre. The powdered red rouge is mixed with a small amount of
    denatured alcohol to form a paste that has an oil base unlike yellow
    ochre. I've used yellow ochre for years and dislike it, and would
    like to try this powdered red rouge if anyone knows where it might
    be obtained. I've thought of trying to "grate" some from my bar of
    red rouge:however, I've been unable to find a grater with small
    enough holes to give me a fine powder. Any help would be greatly
    appreciated. I've looked in Rio Grande, Indian Jewelers Supply, and
    Thunderbird, all to no avail. Best wishes to all, John Barton
