I know this just might be the stupidest post yet, but would soaking a piece of chalk in milk for a while and then baking it do anything different to it. I have had that random idea stuck in my head for the last few days.

Travis, what do you think that doing this will do?

I have never heard of it, but that doesn't mean that there is no method behind the concept.

I would like to here your reasoning for doing this so that I can see where this idea is coming from!!!!

Thanks Craig:)

I second that.....really curious the logic behind it....=)
 
BEST IDEA EVER!!! Why use chalk in cube shape when you can dissolve it in milk??
 
Am I seeing a market for spray on chalk????? :eek:

I think your chalk would probably smell sour and reek of mold and yogurt :D jk
Try it and let us know how the experiment goes,

- box of master blue chalk... $3.00
- Carton of milk.... $2.59
- Oven time.... unknown
-------------> Idea and result.... PRICELESS :)
 
Almost but not quite.....

I know it is not the best idea (or post) but you have a long way to go to be the stupidest. If you need some sort of reference as to what you need to shoot for send me a PM. :)

I think Edison started out like this - if milk doesn't work, then try half and half, cream, butter, cottage cheese. After 1000 tries you'll know 1000 things that don't work, but the 1001st........

No, really, I would drink the milk and try Blue Diamond chalk instead.
 
Man, I usually mind my own business and don't say this to people too often, but man, lay off the drugs, they're obviously doing more harm than good.

Try it and report results.
 
What the hell, what do you got to lose. take a chalk out of your case and put it in some milk. I would think it might just dissolve though.
 
We already have the reciprocal product, so why not?

Spray on chalk? Hey, you might be on to something! We already have the "Chalk-Off" product, so why not a "Chalk-On" product? :D

Did you come up with this because you've heard players putting leather tips in milk to make them harder? The calcium in milk makes it harder, don't know how this would apply to chalk.

I played Ronnie Alcano in a Joss event couple years back. Every so often he would heat up the chalk with a lighter. Probably so it'd stick better but I never asked.

If your going to try this, as I’m guessing the idea is based off of soaking tips in milk to make tips like 'milk duds', remember that for the tips you need to re-compress them in a vice. So don't forget that step.....


:) sorry couldn’t resist. My guess is that it wouldn’t do anything, but kudos on at least posting what I have to assume is definitely an original concept, and who knows if whoever first thought of soaking tips in milk got the same reaction.
 
Milk contains proteins (casiens, I think) that act like a glue and bind the particles of an Elk Master tip together. When compressed and dried, the tip is hard but retains some of the "soft" qualities of the Elk Master, like grabbing the cue ball. It seems like if you did this with chalk, even if you could avoid making a total mess, it would be hard and scratchy and not work very well. But good luck...let us know how it turns out!
