"Loading" Poisoned Shuriken

[Roma Methusael]

My question is based off of the fact I'm going to be a Ninja taking, Ninja Trick: Rogue Trick: Swift Poisoner. Then Eventually the Ninja Trick: Flurry of Stars. For now assume I'm not worried about action economy, for whatever reason. I plan on "Loading" all four Shuriken with Poison Prior to using them for the Flurry of Stars.
How do I accomplish "Loading" Poisoned Shuriken for the Flurry of Stars? How long does a Dose of poison stay on it, to the effect that I can have them on me, Dosed with poison before an Encounter/Fight?
How many can I have "Loaded" for this and any other purpose?
What are my limits regarding this, that I have likely over read/looked?

Applying Poison

One dose of poison smeared on a weapon or some other object affects just a single target. A poisoned weapon or object retains its poison until the weapon scores a hit or the object is touched (unless the poison is wiped off before a target comes in contact with it).

since you have the swift poisoner trick, its a move action for each shuriken so have them poisoned ahead of battle

Also if you plan on using poisons I suggest having your GM read this: http://davidvs.net/games/pathfinder-poisons.shtml

This is a guideline for creating your own poisons, and the guy that wrote it gives good examples as to why even though it seems you can make them powerful that they are properly expensive and there are other things that could work just like them.

EDIT:My assassin's favorite thing to do in his off time is put contact unconscious poison on gold coins and toss them into easily found places around taverns, nothing funny then seeing someone happy to find a gold piece and then go unconscious after a minute

Hmm, very nice, and thank you for the link. It was VERY informative/Useful.
The only Question i still need answered though.
How many Shuriken can i have in hand(s) at one time, that are Poisoned?
Because it seems like if i try to store them any where else they will rub off the poison.

That kind of thing is up to the GM my friend, putting the poison on a weapon is more than just "dumping it" on the weapon, which is why it is normally a standard action, you are smearing the poison on the weapon and making sure it sticks...its not the water-like liquid that will drip off, its more like a thick syrup that dries after a bit (way my GM describes brewed poisons), so unless your GM wants to be "that way" and say if you store poisoned shurikens in a pouch by themselves that the poison will "rub off" then its his call brother :)

(hope you get him to work it out for you)

P.S. Had a few single run assassinations last night with my assassin, actually set up one with a smith someone wanted to "off", met with him early and said I wanted to meet later (after hours) to talk about trading some equipment and possibly him making me some better daggers. Showed up late at his shop with just me and him, had changed my "knockout" poison to contact poison and placed it on the dagger I wanted to trade, after keeping him talking a bit after he examined the dagger, luckily he rolled a 2 on his fort save or he would have passed it lol, he passed out and I had fun setting it up as if one of his employees did it lol

Haha cool, Thank you for the response, with that said. Since I'm going to be playing society more than home games, odds are im just going to take the path of least resistance. Turn 1: Step 1: Draw Shuriken(Free Action), Step 2: Apply Poison(Move Action), Step 3: Thrown Poisoned Shuriken(Standard), Step 4: Draw Shuriken(Free Action), End of Turn 1. Turn 2: Repeat Steps 2-4, End Encounter in ?? rounds.
