Bag Lube advice

I am trying to source carnauba fine powder in Australia to run on my cordura bags. I use a Neo rest with one peice cordura bag which I prefer over the 3 peice 3M material, I also use Benchrite tape on my stocks shooting open with a 284. Would anyone like to share their tips on what you use or where to source this powder from in Aus?
Cheers

I use graphite powder. It's a bit messy, though not really a problem, and it's very slippery.

How does the baby powder go in high humidity or during a rain event?

Toddy,
If your after carnauba wax, go to a Nestle or Allens factory.. They use it to coat their lollies, you maybe able to get some..
Hope this helps..
Cheers

That's what I use but I find that if I use to much it can become sticky

You are using the wrong silicone spray, try the WD40 Silicon spray, definitely not sticky.

I got the reflective strips of an old hi vis work shirt and use that, just sit it between the ears of your bag

If shooting in the rain I cover the front rest and rear bag in plastic bags which keep out the water and are super slippery
