John,

I, too, have used talcum powder with success. However,
for some reason, I stopped using it. Probably because
I just forgot to bring it with me. Since, however,
I've found the catheter comes off easily enough (usually)
after a hot day in the cockpit. Sweat some while flying
(you know, when you're down low and can't find a thermal)
and it will come off without to much wailing and gnashing
of teeth. Of course, YMMV.

removal easy. Don't put too much on or it won't stick
enough.
