I don't use talc or related products because of the asbestos.
Isn't that a cheery thought?

60,000 turns in 5 years? How often do you change your strings? That is
32.8 turns per day, 365 days a year.

Laugh now; in 5 years you will need to hire a professional mechanic to

Always be careful with talc. It frequently contains chrysotile asbestos
(talc and chrysotile asbestos have the same composition) which is a
potent carcinogen, so be sure you never breath the dust.

I find that good quality peg paste (such as Hills) is far more reliable over

A sparing amount of peg paste once a year or so is generally enough to keep
everything turning over smoothly.

Many thanks for all responses.
Baby powder with a bit of soap seems to be doing the trick,
will vary the proportions as needed.
