    Here's how to make rouge powder from rouge block. 

    1 Roughly grate the block into a conyainer. 

    2 Add about five times the amount of a grease solvenmt such as
    turpentine. 

    3 when its all dissolved add ten times the amount of water and a
    good splash of detergent (dish cleaner) 

    4 Filter the powder out. 

    Rouge block is only the iron oxide powder bonded into hard grease. 

    If you want to use the powder for a polish - dont! It will fly
    everywhere off the wheel! 

    If you want to use it as a solder inhibitor just rub a paintbrush
    dipped in turps onto the block!
