what the hell was Goodyear French Talc? And why was it made in India?!?!





So... a dusty way to keep repaired inner tubes from sticking to the tire? 



French Talc is a platy type talc from France. Talc is a source of magnesium for glazes. It acts as a flux and reduces firing temperature in stoneware and porcelain clay. In low fired clay bodies, it helps with glaze fit and decreases moisture absorption.


French Talc is still being used, on aircraft tires
