Title: Dryblok, AKA potassium alum
Post by: Danny on October 28, 2019, 11:38:40 am: Saw this stuff advertised as a climbing product on my Facebook feed the other day:
https://dryblok.com/ (https://dryblok.com/)

It seems to be a 3x more expensive wrapper for this potassium alum stuff: https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Bluebeards-Revenge-Alum-Block/dp/B01IHTDDDQ/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2T3V8KPWBM1ZX&keywords=potassium+alum&qid=1572262339&sprefix=potassium+a%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-6 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Bluebeards-Revenge-Alum-Block/dp/B01IHTDDDQ/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2T3V8KPWBM1ZX&keywords=potassium+alum&qid=1572262339&sprefix=potassium+a%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-6)

Is it snake oil, or potentially useful?

I'm sure its a role you could readily slip into.

It'd dry up those tears fast though....

Just the wang ambassador they need. You'll be bankrupting them with your ~11 sweaty danglers.
