Put 'em in a warm oven to dry them out. Really.
Deno Andrews did this and posted about it on RSB - search the archives there for time and temp.

I own a pool room and play a lot, and I've found that Master chalk can vary some, from box to box.
Triangle chalk, made by the same manufacturer is somewhat more gritty and doesn't turn to mush in more humid climates.
You might find that some of the Master will be good and some not so good. That is my experience in my pool room.

Well, there is your issue "tropical climate and high humidity". not so much bad chalk really. You'd need a pretty well climate controlled room to keep chalk from becoming a slurry. The oven thing should do the trick, just make sure you keep the paper away from any direct metal contact on the oven grates. Use a silicone mat if you can.

Nuking a few pieces in the microwave gets them nice and dry, and it's a whole lot quicker than a conventional oven.

Yeah, but they don't taste as good.

yes, with the blue chalk I have used some that looks kinda gray and gritty and it never worked, I have also had some that was bright blue and talc-ey that was just as bad, I would guess that its about 10% of the chalk overall.
Also in Europe I have noticed its like that more often, perhaps they ship the 2nd's over there. I dont know for sure, and then there is the occasional box that is perfect.
in summery everybox is a bit different.
