Pure Talc Powder Quart

I use real talc to get rid of ants.

This came in a large, wide-mouthed jar so I relocated it as shown in the photograph. Talcum powder appears nestle impossible to get. I was thrilled to find this. Talc does not support the growth of bacteria and fungi like corn starch. This has no odor and thats a beautiful thing.

Used it to make chalk paint, works wonderful

Pure plain talcum. I use it for a mold release. I used to get cheap baby powder, but some brought lawsuits so talc powder based products were discontinued. This does the same. Just be smart to use a particle mask or respirator, some ventilation and wash up after using.

Works much better than corn starch. Just be sensible using it.

I bought this talcum for non-resin reasons as other reviewers have and it is a great product. I confirmed with the seller that the product is just talcum. I’m not worried about getting ovarian cancer because I was not assigned a female at birth and I’m also not a lab rat breathing a huge quantity.

My wife and I are 70. We will take the chance on cancer. Still selling tobacco. I use a pepper shaker. I spray my favorite cologne on a piece of cotton, put it in the bottom of the shaker and wa-la...label the shaker and its done. Be sure to get shakers with small holes. There are different sizes.

Smokers can still buy their cigarettes, and Im guessing that modern tobacco products are even more carcinogenic than talcum powder. What I especially hate is products that say TALC in big letters on the front, and you have to read the fine-print ingredients to know theyre entirely cornstarch. (How can they do this, when soy and almond beverages are not allowed to use the word milk on their containers? And WHY, when the absence of real talc is touted as a selling point?) Cornstarch is great stuff, in its place. If I were a parent, Id certainly want cornstarch-powder for my babys behind. Babies behinds need changing so often that cornstarch powder probably works just fine for them. But I want a powder that will keep things dry between my toes for twelve to twenty-four hours at a time and, sorry, cornstarch substitute JUST DOESNT WORK! And who do I sue if my athletes foot comes back because I cant get real talcum powder any longer? Yes, I know that athletes foot isnt in the same category as cancer, but Im almost 80 and have never been diagnosed with cancer, while I have been diagnosed, in teen-age, with athletes foot and have used talcum powder every night of my life since to keep it away. Nor do I make a habit of sniffing my toes. I dont like being forced to go to talcum labeled not for personal use, even though this is good, fine, real talcum powder and just the stuff that folks like me need to have. Up until a very few years ago, I could get 14 oz. of it for under two dollars, so it seems jolting to have to pay almost twenty dollars for about the equivalent of two 14-oz. containers; but at least I dont use it up that fast. And, as I say, this product really is good, old-fashioned talcum powder.

I used this to thicken epoxy for a boat project. Its unscented, and pure talcum. Like any additives, the amount used depends on thickness desired. Slightly pricey for the size. Its good for bonding or a glue thickener. I wouldnt use it for laminating unless it was filling the weave after cloth.

It stops creaks and squeaks.... and sweat... LOL!!
