One of the issues with white metal is it's softness. It clogs not only rotary cutters but hand files. Both require frequent cleanings with a file brush or card. Rotary can clog quite firmly. Something to try, run your Dremel in reverse with a sharp burr for less reduction and a smoother finish...

I have not tried R and Co. but your thinner maybe a possiblity in the short lifespan.

I think everyone has given good advice. I would add to be aware. Keeping your work area clean, trying to reduce residual dust, changing to safer paints are all the right ideas. Just remember that little kids put everything into their mouths. So washing your hands is smart but don't forget your...
