what is comonly called Talc. It just happens to be very closely related to asbestos and is considered a carcinogen. Diving on Thurday and met someone who explained that KY Jelly is a very good subsitute to use rather than Talc. Mg3Si4O10(OH)2, Magnesium Silicate Hydroxide. KY jelly is water soluble and harmless to rubber. I'm not sure if it's harmless to adhesive but I'll the take chance. Opinions.
