I was able to purchase talc cheap (something like 5 lbs. for about $9 if memory serves me) at my local Walgreens drug store. Just go to the Pharmacy and ask for plain, unadulterated talc...they were able to get it in within about 2 days. Thanks, Ron >>> Aaron Pailthorp <aaronp@MI*.co*> 05/30/96 03:33pm >>> 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.
