Nothing wrong with baby powder it’s cheap and like talc very little goes a long way. I've been doing the same for as long as I care to remember without any problems. I just stretch the bands before I put them on and check for cracking.
Others have used kitty litter and any number of methods with success. Lets face it if one method works for you who am I to criticize what your doing. I might make a suggestion to try something different but ultimately it’s your choice, your hobby.
Nothing wrong with trying all the suggestions until you find the one that works for you.
