Well, I'm not one to argue. I take it then you've never heard of
google, eh? Chalk point is the temperature where chalk turns into
glue.

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.

Good going JT, you really made him look stupid!!!!
Bet he'll think twice before asking a question or for help here again.

No, I didn't make him look stupid. I made him look bone idle - my
thought is he didn't even look at the google link. He's welcome to ask
questions any time - as long as he doesn't expect to have his answers
handed to him on a platter.

However, if you still think I was harsh on the poor guy, check out
some ot the other newsgroups. Oh yeah, be very sure to post questions
too.

It's the place they put the blocks to keep an airplane from rolling around on the ground.

Well actually now the first hit on google is his question and you
telling him to google it ;) He'd have to go all the way to the second
link now.

Minimum temperature at which you should use that glue. For either you,
the glue, the timber, or the environment it's going to cure in.

Now if there are any polymer chemists in the house, is "chalk point" the
same thing / related to the "glass transition temperature" for a
polymer?
