Sources of pure talc seem to be drying up. Talc is the subject of a current lawsuit asserting that it causes cancer in women. Talc, in an unscented form, used to be available as an inexpensive body powder. Now, I can't seem to find it anymore. I've had to go to a more expensive product for billiards. Even so, my local billiard shop can't seem to order it anymore, and now there are only a few sources found on EBay. You might consider buying some, while it's still available.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
