I can't stomach paying $6 for 4 oz. of fragrance free talc (Trident) at
the local dive shops, when plain old talc at the drug store goes for
$2/24 oz. Unfortunately, the drug store stuff comes with perfume, which
I understand is bad for latex seals.

Can anyone tell me where a good place to get talc, with no additives,
is?

I've been trying drug stores, billiard shops (is the powdered "dust free
chalk" the same stuff?), and now I'm thinking artist supply shops...
Anyone want to save me a bunch of investigative leg work so I can bypass
the exorbitant (Trident) markup? I'm in the Seattle area.

Hell, I'm even thinking just take some of the drug store stuff, and bake
it for an hour or so, and hopefully evaporate the perfume out. But that
seems a little desperate.

Thanks,
-->Aaron
