My beloved chalk took a swim for a while, can it be salvage?

I was playing at friends in their basement and stepped outside to use the 'outside bathroom' and dropped my pocket chalk in a puddle of water. It was sitting for like 10 min before I found it. Can I bake it for awhile to pull the water from it?
 
If it was a yellow puddle, I would just get a new one.
Get a new one and let that one dry on a windowsill in the sun. Dont think force drying will work well.

If you rescued it, it can be considered salvage.

However, salvaged, that's another matter. Let it dry a few months, and you'll know. If it's not good by then, it's not salvageable.

Salvage, Salvaged, and Salvageable.

All the best,
WW

No but not typical chalk, Magik Chalk. Dr. Dave rated it at 29+ hits without a miscue. It was $10 for 2, shipped. I have one more at home, I just bought them and it's the principal is all.

For $5, I don't think I'd take the chance with it - just toss it! BTW, I use Magic chalk too and I love it. One piece will last you a really long time, so I wouldn't sweat the one you had to throw out. If you try to use it, trust me, everytime you miscue you'll wonder if that's why you miscued.

First of all, I think you should google ‘pool’....
...only ONE of the definitions should be associated with cue chalk.

And I think RJ is remiss for not including those instructions with every box.

If you want it dry then hold it in your hand and click your heels together tree timea...its magic for cris sakes:p

If you use it wet then its worth much more(Kamui).:rolleyes:

Yes, great stuff. Why anyone would pay $25-30 for Kamui is beyond me.

I baked it at 170°F for 2 hours. It seemed to pull all the moisture out. I'll give it a try to see how it works.
 
Why would you risk your game on a $5 cube of chalk? Just leave it at a bar somewhere and use a fresh cube.

RJ. This is the best advertisement you could get

Unsolicited and heartfelt.

I use it also and prefer it to many others I've used. I have 2 pieces of Kamui in their packages which I only used a few times and they'll likely stay there unless I also happen to drop my magic cube in the drink

Regards
Dave
