Gym chalk or just any chalk?

[fuzzylogic25]

I want to buy some chalk but gym chalk on ebay is like $40 for 50grams or something. Can you just use normal chalk like then ones for blackboards?

...dont think blackboard chalk is the same thing (its Calcium sulfate), so i'd avoid that

They're both drying agents and will work the same.
