Can a person mix Forster motor mica dry lubricant with the Imperial dry neck lube?

The reason I am asking is that I purchased the imperial application media and plastic jar and it works a lot better than the red green system I made which was a nylon brush in a pill bottle. I have a couple of packages of the motor mica on hand.

I'm not a chemist, but both the motor mica and the dry neck lube are inert correct? Can't see an issue but I've been surprised before.

For those of us using this stuff, any insight?

Regards

I wet tumble and this removes all the carbon from inside the case neck and can effect bullet grip.

I dip my case necks in powdered graphite which is fine powdered carbon and when sized the expander smears and recoats the inside of the case neck with carbon.

Dry Lubes:
All of the dry lubes are fine dry powders and typically come in a small jar or just a plastic bag. Some come with, or are available with, an applicator such as a jar full of very small steel or ceramic ball bearings. Details on application methods are discussed later in this document.
Forster White Motor Mica (mica / dry powder)
Frankford Arsenal® (mica / dry powder)
Imperial® Dry Neck Lube (graphite / dry powder)
Neco Super Deluxe Dry Neck Lube Kit (moly / dry powder)

So your question boils down to what method you use to clean your brass and how much carbon it removes from inside the neck.
 
It is perfectly safe to mix the motor mica with powdered graphite....personally have done this many times.
Also makes the graphite slightly less "black". lol. D.
