Do you have more info on this?
Talcum powder or cornstarch will do the same thing... Saw it the other night on the TV program, "American Restoration..."

Wow the flour is a trick I never heard of...Sounds logical like a real low abrasive dry compund..I like...I already see the baking flour out and a leaf blower out in the driveway. After that flour mess the leaf blower will come in handy getting the flour out of tight spots. I would definitely wrap my air cleaner with a large zip lock bag and rubber band too while that flour is flying around
