warning, it makes a mess on the floor. but I tend to overdo things ... sprinkled on the rim before the tube & tire, get everything in place before inflating, sprinkle around both sides of the tire bead, all around, pushing the tube in to be sure the powder gets between the rim & bead. not sure it really helped that much

wonder if you can brush it on by putting a bunch in an empty jar & using a small paint brush or something?
