applying teflon powder

[gordon stelter]

Ric B uses the powder in suspension with Protek. I've
done that, and it works very well. Overall, I'm trying
to get away from Teflon-type lubes, because of serious
toxicity/ mutagenic concerns. But, if you're going to
use it, in suspension allows you to paint it on
buckskin, etc., with fewer inhalation concerns.

P.S. I haven't tried "Goose-Juice", but have been
assured that it is Teflon free.
