Talc powder when packing away

[Marcusredford]

I need to get my sib deflated soon but it's going to be a little damp given the weather. Is it ok to use some talc to kill the moisture while packing it away?

Thanks.

Be good. fresh water rinse and leave to dry

Yeah that's what I've been doing today. It's drying off nicely in the garage

Talc would likely be good in a couple of ways: forms a layer over the material and minimizes ozone contact; minimizes moisture; minimizes material to material contact which may may encourage plasticizer migration.

Make sure you use pure talc, though; not the stuff with scents or oils added (they may enhance degradation of rubbers and plastics.) A billiards shop should carry pure talc.
