Drysuit Talc

[Peter Gray]

Does anyone know of a supplier of those little white cotton bags containing pure talc for dabbing on latex drysuit seals?

Thanks, it wasn't the pure talc that was the problem, it was buying it prepackaged in the little white bags!

French chalk. 3.17 incl vat for 500g from Cromwell Tools.

Erm as for the bag- how's your sewing?

Climbers use "chalk" for hard climbs to keep hands dry this is carried in either a hip bag or a cotton dust bag , so you might try a mountain shop.

Hi Peter,

I don't know about bags of the stuff but just found these chaps (through another thread on here) who sell the talc for the seals you are looking for:

No idea what the service is like - maybe you could let us know if you get some from them.

Cheers,
Tristan

I've dealt with them, got my drysuit from them in fact. I'd definately recommend them.
