Dear Mark,
I suggest you post this request on craigslist and you'll get a
lot of interesting responses. Let us know the funniest response
you get.
Dusting fine powder is a common thing in plating food on
dishes. I use extra fine mesh tea strainer for that purpose.
If the qualitity is much larger, I bet you can use a flour
sifter. However, neither is very even.
