I use micro-fine teflon powder. After brushing with a brass brush (may not need to on new knuckles) I burnish it in with a rounded piece of wood. Charlotte Eschmann,RPT recently recommended burnishing with a piece of cork which I will try next. Brian DeTar,RPT also told me that a second application later may be needed to more fully cover the knuckles, but it will work great and last. Also spray the whippen tops with McLube 1725 - combination of both is slick stuff!! Lance Lafargue,RPT (New Orleans Chapter)
