Richard wanted the two milled together for an hour before melt and pour. Now a
days I don't mill, I use it in granular form, I simply mix the two together
before melting. But I am usually making 4 inch or larger grains so I don't need
it powdered.

Why would you be milling the sugar? Are you packing motors or melting and
pouring? The particle size of the sugar does not matter if you melt it, only
the particle size of additives (like the KNO3) will change anything.

I remember the first time I milled a kg in a pvc mill. Was a hot day and the
milling process generated additional heat. After an hour, I opened up the mill
and dang, no powder! Where had it all gone? It had melted to the insides of the
mill and on the brass medium. On Tuesday, March 26, 2024 at 10:22:15 PM PDT,

Are you milling the sugar & nitrate together? You should use spherical or
cylindrical grinding media in a cylindrical can.

I have a little mill, sort of like a ball mill, but much smaller than most, and
using pennies in a rotating square plastic food container set on edge. It
powders the sugar quite well, but the sugar then sticks to everything, even
after I dry it with heat and mill it again. Any suggestions that won't screw up
the chemistry?
