Not for black powder, too much static in pvc.

You can't delete. Only Mods or Admins can. Unless you're one that I don't know about.

Do you mean used as a milling medium or as a mill itself?

You could also spray it with static gaurd just in case.

My friend and his dad are getting a ball mill. I don't really know what they specifically do, (the only time I fooled with BP was when I emptied out of a few rockets to make blackmatch fuse with), but I'm guessing they're just a fancy device that stirs the various components, (sulfur, charcoal, oxidizer, (NOT KClO4 /w SULFUR!)), together? If so, I don't need one anytime soon.
