Teflon spray

[Carol Beigel]

Surlock's teflon powder is probably a finer grind.  He always carries the 
best of stuff as he personally tests it.  However, I never noticed a 
difference on knuckles.

As to what Hoppes teflon powder is used for in guns, I think it has 
something to do with cleaning the barrels on rifles.  I don't know anything 
about guns, but here in my neighborhood, the only source of this stuff is 
two gun stores.
