Powder Prevents Stuck Spindle Sleeves

I love my oscillating spindle sander, but when I wanted to change grits, the sanding sleeve invariably stuck to the rubber drum. My wife, Lyn, suggested that I put a little talcum powder on the drum before I slipped the sleeve on. Sure enough, I haven't had a stuck sleeve since.
