Cheap (not shit) chalk?

Why not try liquid chalk Liam? Hate it myself, but sticks on skin.

Have you had any luck pressing the super fine powder in to something that's usable for climbing? Any tips on a workable setup?

I just talked with friend who said that the easiest is to mix the powder with water and let it dry for a few weeks (depending on heat and humidity). No pressing is needed apparently. There are even youtube tutorials, e.g.

As a larger gent with fingers like last nights chip wrapper a combo of Rhino Tip Juice, Performance and Recover have turned my tips into something I'm not embarrassed to touch holds with.
I'm also a fan of liquid chalk (Friction Labs for "the send", any old stuff for general).

Interesting. I'll see where this antihydral gets me first and will consider liquid chalk if i'm still struggling. I think I have an old bottle somewhere from a DWS trip!

I wonder if I'm missing something with liquid chalk. I end up with a thin dry layer that crumbles off and feels slippery first time I climb with it, and then just leaves fine powdery layer that last for about 2 moves.
