I want to thank everyone here who helped me with this frizzen problem. I did the Kasinit then did the oil bath and water quench and viola. WOOSH!
But I did have a tense moment. I put powder in the pan on the first try and NOTHING. 2nd Try NOTHING. Then I saw I was not putting enough powder in the pan and 20 times later each and everyone went off. This even with a broken flint not all that sharp.
Thanks pards.
