Teflon doesn't wet to much, but you can still mix it. I did a project
a while ago where I tried to mold Teflon. The part was too complex,
and the mold would not fill uniformly, so the part came out with
varying densities and warped when it was sintered. It was pretty
neat to tinker with, but I ended up machining the part. I have some
Teflon powder if you would like to fool around with it. (Hmmm, have to
be careful mailing white powders around, nowadays!)
