TFL50 on knuckles

[holly quigley]

'S what I thought - I always use the powder and a hammer shank with a piece
of felt wrapped around the tip.
Nah - they're getting replaced because they're deformed and tres spongy.

Thanks! I was just very curious as to whether or not this was an acceptable
practice. I'll stick to the powder.

I wouldn't.   Teflon powder is the norm.   What condition are the
knuckles?   Has the spray made them hard?

So I'm doing a knuckle replacement job, and I swear it looks like someone
actually sprayed the knuckles with TFL50. There's a white film on the shanks
and tops of the whippens that looks like it could only have been sprayed on.
Teflon powder, I've heard of, yes - but using a spray? Is this a common or
reasonable practice? Just curious...
