    hi all, 
   I use a wedge of hammer felt trimmings, and hold a baby-food jar lid, half
filled with the powder, under the two or three knuckles.  Dip the felt into
the teflon, and rub it into the knuckles while holding the lid underneath.
You can do a whole set without wasting more than a smidgen, and the felt seems
to leave just the right amount of the powder in the leather.
