I have seen this suggested by Bob Wyatt and also by .D. on this forum. Blending dubbing is a real pain, so I bought a cheap coffee spice grinder like this one

It makes a better job that you could ever do by hand and is quick enough to blend a season?s worth dubbing in a few minutes.
I too now recommend it.
This will be you getting me back for the d40 link then! Bought one can't go wrong at that price.

Too late, I've done enough to last most of the season, but if I remember (which most likely I won't) I'll do it next time.

Black and brown dyed squirrel fur.

And after. About 3 seconds after............

Slight differences in exposure I didn't bother compensating for, but I hope you get the idea .
Works really well for blending very small amounts of high glint synthetics evenly with natural furs as well.
