    Richard Immurse some cotton wool in kerosene using a small bowl as a
    container. Then add some powdered rouge so that it will soak up the
    kerosene. The cotton wool then becomes like an ink pad. You can now
    get the powdered rouge to the swansdown mop by way of using a stick
    of dry rouge which has been dabbed into the rouge soaked cotton wool
    . Carefully introduce the stick rouge to the bottom part of your
    spinning swansdown mop. In hollow ware production this is known as
    finishing. Yes you will get rouge powder throughout your workshop, so
    make sure you have your dust extraction system working. The advantage
    of using the powdered  and dry stick rouge over the greasy rouge is
    that that they will not leave any tell tale polishing  streaks on
    large flat surfaces
