> 24 hourI used this to thicken epoxy for a boat project. Its unscented, and pure talcum. Like any additives, the amount used depends on thickness desired. Slightly pricey for the size. Its good for bonding or a glue thickener. I wouldnt use it for laminating unless it was filling the weave after cloth.

> 24 hourWorks much better than corn starch. Just be sensible using it.

> 24 hourPure plain talcum. I use it for a mold release. I used to get cheap baby powder, but some brought lawsuits so talc powder based products were discontinued. This does the same. Just be smart to use a particle mask or respirator, some ventilation and wash up after using.

> 24 hourI have enormous callused sweaty hands. I tear even the thickest nitrile gloves putting them on because the sizing of the gloves is never accurate when it comes to me. Since the USA is such a litigious country, all of the consumer brands have replaced talc with cornstarch in their powders and this is a huge problem for me. I use cornstarch to thicken soups and gravies and fungi LOVES to feed on the cheap sugars that are readily available in starches. If I am successfully able to get a nitrile glove on my hand, Im going to wear it as long as I can for fear of tearing the subsequent glove that I put on, and I dont need to have a thick, fungi-friendly sweat paste against my skin for hours at a time. This talc is amazing. I took the top off of a gold bond bottle, dumped out all of the cornstarch, filled it with this talc and keep it next to my box of gloves so that I can dust my hands and slide into a new pair any time that I want to without fear of tearing half a dozen or so. My hands come out nice and dry even after wearing gloves for much longer than I should. It pours smoothly, does not clump, and seems that the milling of the powder is extremely consistent. Please note: This is not meant for the use which I use it for, so please take that into account when purchasing it.

> 24 hourI ordered a body powder Ive used in the past, hoping it would still be talc. It was not. It is now cornstarch. No thank you. I put this product in my monkey bottle...and now I have a sprinkle-top container with an ingredient that works. Thank you!

> 24 hourIve recently bought several of their additives [fillers] for resins, all have arrived well packaged and sealed tight! Very satisfied with their shipping practices and speed. In the future I will be buying all my additives from this company, good prices too.

> 24 hourNeeded this to assemble a steel frame swimming pool, as it makes it much easier to slide the poles into the vinyl liner. It worked great, I only used a total of maybe a quarter of a cup. But since talcum powder is no longer available except in completely adulterated forms, all kinds of stuff added to it, which is not good for why I needed it, this was the only thing to buy. I realize its sold in such a large container because of what this is normally used for, but now I still have nearly a pound left. Ill just keep it safe and dry so I can use it again next summer when we take the pool out of winter storage and set it up again.

> 24 hourSimple 100% hard to find real talc. I use it as a body powder. Works so much better than the cornstarch based powders that have become the rule these days.
