I know some recommend using water when the dubbing is mixed in a
blender to help distribute it evenly. When done the dubbing is
strained out and dried.
I have a coffee grinder which I modified with a hole drilled in the
plastic top. I pinned a piece of cardboard cut to fit the inside of
the grinder into the rubber eraser of a pencil, and stick the pencil
through the hole. I can then use this as a plunger to keep the
dubbing material close to the blades, and I can blend even small
amounts of dubbing.

Folks: A while back, I think there was a discussion about making
your own dubbing using a food processor... I need to make some
spiky dubbing for the thorax of some nymphs. I have a mini food
processor that only holds one cup. I think it would be perfect for
this, but i have forgotten how to do it, and what material(s) to
use..Or, I have both a hare's mask and a raccoon's mask would it be
better (or easier) to just cut the under and outer fur from one of
these and mix it together???Thanks for any help, Chuck
