Tire talc...baby powder?

[No Spam]

Yes, I know it'll smell better and reduce rash, but is there any reason I
can't use baby powder as tire talc?

TIA,

You put it inside the tire before inserting the tube to act as a lubricant
so it doesn't bind or fold inside the tire while inflating.

The stuff for which most folks substitute baby powder.

Are we changing tires or diapers here?
Or is this just kinky pilot stuff?

You have to use the STC'd baby powder and add it to your MEL.

We know. But have you tried it on your tire & tube :)

Baby powder is just talc with perfume. Now if they'd make an
unscented version for allergic babies?

Incidentally, baby powder up until around 1960 or so was made not
of talc, but of chrysolite asbestos, one of the worst forms of the
stuff. All the panic over a few bits of asbestos found floating in the
air in some old buildings is a bit overblown, considering that us
older guys inhaled vast quantities of it while in our cribs. Never
(cough, choke) hurt me...

You may be right. The references I found are all pretty old - early
90's.

Here's one:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=1603491&dopt=Abstract

And this page has 3 more references to studies. I can't get the links to work, but there may be enough info to look them up in other places:

Ok, I admit that I haven't made a specialty of feminine hygiene products,
but what items which contain talc are women likely to insert into that
area?

The current recommendation on baby powder is not to use
it on babies -- cornstarch or no :) Go figgur :)

If corn oil is made from corn, and olive oil is made from
olives, what's baby oil made from?

Caution - more info than you probably want to know!

I have become somewhat of a spokesman for Vagisil and Monistat 7.

I would get "itchy" and/or darn near "raw" during some of our longer State
Park all day hikes. After a few years of dealing with it, I got a
recommendation to slather a little of that female stuff in the "rashy
regions" (a.k.a. - the swimsuit area <g>). Works like a charm. Stuff works
better than anything else I've tried.

Had a tube at Oshkosh, just in case - didn't need it though.
