'S what I thought - I always use the powder and a hammer shank with a piece of felt wrapped around the tip. <br>Nah - they're getting replaced because they're deformed and tres spongy.<br><br>Thanks!

<p align="left">I wouldn't. Teflon powder is the norm. What condition are the knuckles? Has the spray made them hard? <br><br>David Ilvedson, RPT<br>Pacifica, CA 94044<br><br></p>

<p align="left">So
I'm doing a knuckle replacement job, and I swear it looks like someone
actually sprayed the knuckles with TFL50. There's a white film on the
shanks and tops of the whippens that looks like it could only have been
sprayed on. Teflon powder, I've heard of, yes - but using a spray? Is
this a common or reasonable practice? Just curious...<br><br>-Holly Quigley<br><br></p>
