Alternative use for Talcum?

Deedee73

Hi everyone, Does anybody know if Talc can be used for anything other than pampering ya bod after bath/shower?

Any crafty type things, cleaning things,,, Yes I have an abundance of Talc!

Thanks in advance

If you're wondering why people may have an excess of Talc, just take a look here Tesco Clubcard Loophole

I've heard of it being used for snow, when photographing scale models, but I think that might be a bit specialised.

I always take some to the beach in the summer. Liberally applied to feet, sand just brushes off before putting shoes back on. Similarly, when cutting kids' hair, they like talc for those stubborn hairs that stick to the skin.

Sprinkle inside your wet suit to make it easier to put on before you go scuba diving or anything else you want to do in rubber wear........

You can use it for soaking up an oil spill. A small one obviously not a North sea type affair.

I've occasionally used it as a dry shampoo, but it can be a !!!!!! to brush out if you put too much on.

I've also used it as a make up powder when I'm running out of the proper stuff. Just a little to 'take the shine off'.
