Teflon spray

[Larry]

PTFE is the abbreviation for the chemical name 
'polytetrafluoroethylene'.  This is indeed the same chemical found as an 
additive in "Slick 50" and other oils, non-stick fry pans, and so on.  (I 
wouldn't recommend a "Slick 50" treatment for grand knuckles, though! ha 
ha  I'd better be careful, sometimes the crazy ideas actually work!)
