is this the right gear to put a smooth satin sheen on alloy bits?

can i scoop it up and re use many times?

Might be worth having a look here first - cheap, easy and very environmental (and you won't be left with bits of grit in all the nooks & crannies): retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=56423

Do a search for sodium bicarbonate on ebay. Loads of bulk buys available cheap.
