Can you explain the liquid chalk concept more? I use chalk to absorb and dry sweat on my hands, how does liquid do that? Does the alcohol evaporate super fast and leave the chalk to soak up my sweat?
- niftylettuce 10y agoemail me at niftylettuce@gmail.com, I deleted that from my comment here because I haven't really publicly released that project yet, but basically the gist is you put the liquid chalk on as a base layer, then use regular chalk. the marketing & sales is the true magic in a business like this. the liquid evaporates near instantly.
- joshvm 10y agoLots of climbers use liquid chalk because it's less messy than using powdered or bagged-chalk. It comes out as a thick milky goo which you rub on your hands, the alcohol evaporates off and you're left with a coating of chalk. I've had mixed experiences with it, it lasts longer, but that only seems to be the case if your hands don't sweat. I gave up and went back to powder because I need to reapply often.
