recipe for VJ Lube

[pianolover 88]

As of 2/15/01, 10pm PST, I have called 27!! different pharmacies, (that's 
all of 'em, folks) drug stores etc, but only ONE said they can order ONLY 
the "Hydrous: type, and none I contacted said ANhydrous is even available 
for them to order! So....I assume I can use the "hydrous" version? Then, as 
asked below, does anyone have a lead on the avasilability of 100% talc? Can 
100% vaseline ALONE be used in the interim? I surely appreciate everyone's 
help.

Btw, is the melting of the vaseline necessary; won't it return to its 
original consistancy AFTER it cools down, or does the addition of lanolin & 
talc prevent that? Having checked the archives, I notice several differing 
opinions as to the ratios of each ingredient...I would very much like to get 
the most current consensus from the list. Thanks!
