I've found that wet ball milling works best, pouring off the result into a five gallon bucket, decanting the extra water once its had a chance to settle, and scooping out the grind into a plaster bat to dry. I do this with Titanium Dioxide and it works well. For the mill that I use, an eight hour grind seems to do the trick for most anything.
