I, too, use the micro-fine teflon powder and like it a lot. I'm wondering how others apply it. I use an artist brush, brush it on, then burnish it in with a cork from a wine bottle. I hate to see any of it wasted, but I always do. Other ideas? P.S. After I apply it to the knuckles, I apply it to the whippen underfelt. I also polish the capstans and keypins, spray McLube 1725 on them, and re-graphite/burnish the whippen tops. This makes the piano feel great after regulation (sometimes even before regulation).
