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.

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

[dpb]

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

To which he replied: THANK YOU VERY MUCH--

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

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. Oh, wait, that's the "chock point" .... nevermind.

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?
