how do you bake chalk?

[cuenut]

I live in a humid area (south Louisiana) and purchased a gross of Master chalk about 15 years ago. The paper label falls off of virtually every new cube I take out of the box. I guess the humidity, having been absorbed into the chalk during humid times makes the adhesive delaminate from the chalk. I would imagine, however, that a cube would have to be really wet to make any noticeable difference when shooting.

Doctored Chalk? Why not try to slip one in a vacuum sealer with a touch of water in it. You could probably soften it up to mush pretty quickly. Or, even better (but less posiible) slip them a hot one straight from the oven.

I like the doctored chalk idea. I went to play a little tournament at a hall that has bigger tournaments also last week, just checking out the tables and general atmosphere of the place. Had a dipshit shark me on the coin toss. I suspected what he was doing but gave him the benefit of doubt when he asked me to call it before he tossed. His toss never had the coin turn over. I didn't care in this tournament and just made a note to expect the guy to cheat any way he could from now on. Slipping some doctored chalk on the table if I ever play him again would be good fun!

I think you can enclose the chalk with some silicon mositure absorbant and they should get dried up very quickly.

This is what I'd do, if we had a humidity problem, which we definately do not here in the middle of the desert, er, prairies. Note that many desiccants can be baked at about 250F to renew them (drive the moisture out of the desiccant).

Where do you get the silicone packets that you put with the chalk? Maybe I'll just go buy a bunch of jerkey to keep my chalk fresh.

You can get them online for like 25 small packets for 10 dollars. Just google desiccant packet.
