applying teflon powder

[John Ross]

I seem to recollect that the toxicity occurs, at high temperatures. 
Definitely higher than the friction of fast playing would cause. :-)

  This is the first time I've heard of any "toxicity" from 
  Teflon powder. Do you have any proof of that? I really 
  doubt it or Bill wouldn't be selling it!!!!!!!!

    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.
