gollan Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Is Gym Chalk (Gymnastic Chalk) the same as regular blackboard chalk just packaged differently? I can't find Gym Chalk locally but there are fat sticks of blackboard chalk. Is it the same stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Gym chalk is not the same as blackboard chalk. It is carbonate of magnesia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan McMillan Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Gollan, do a search in your area for a supplier of athletic equipment to schools. This is what I did and the gymnastic chalk is dirt cheap generally from these retailers. The other option is mountain climber retailers but then you'll pay the same price for a little pitty piece that you would for a whole box. I also got my shot putts for heavy ball rotation from the same supplier. Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Steve Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 The chalk wall climbers use is the best I have used but $4.95 a bag is on the high side for me. I grew up using ghetto chalk. It still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
