Yes but I didn't find the answer



Chalk point is the temperature where chalk turns into glue.

What does chalk have to do with glue?? Certainly all glue is not made with
chalk.

I understand the temp. at which glue needs to be at in order to set. Sooo
where does the "chalk point" figure in?


It's a descriptive term -- tends to turn to a powder, hence "chalky",
instead of drying at cold temperatures.
