Ok so I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack. What is chalk point when
referred to glues??
Thanks

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.

And you couldn't get that from the first hit on the google link I
provided??? Sheesh.

It's the place they put the blocks to keep an airplane from rolling around on the ground.
Oh, wait, that's the "chock point" .... nevermind.

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?
