I will scuff it up a little with sand paper and spray it with a fast drying degreaser.
It's the same stuff I use for knife handles. It's water and chemical resistant.

That small spout depresses to open a cross hole to let the 4f black powder fill the hole in the spout.
It will dispense 4 grains of black powder, just the right amount to put in a flintlock pan. :D

I'm still needing to figure out how I'm going to attach a leather lacing to it.
But I'm happy with how it turned out. :D
