...because the grains are spherical rather than rod-shaped) is formed chemically, not mechanically. It need be dry and dangerous for only a short time.

The liquid nitrocellulose rises to the surface of the water as a creamy lacquer. Stirring breaks it into globules, like olive oil in salad dressing. Other chemicals keep the tiny pellets separate. Speed of stirring determines the size of the grains of powder...
