Hey guys I would like get ur guys input of a good brand of chalk to use and a good supplier for box calls. Thanks
Dont use white school board chalk ! It has oil in it. Use blue carpenters chalk. :icon_thumright:
Go to a web site called www.forestry-supliers.com and click on their little round tree symbol across the top, then see a selection of products and click on the yellow stick of Railroad Chalk. This chalk is outstanding for box calls with no oil base at all. I am strictly a box call builder and I have been using this chalk for 4 years. A box of 72 sticks will only cost you $13 and last many many years. I cut them down the middle with a coping saw and then in 1/2 again and that piece will last a customer for at least 3 years. I send a piece like this with every call I build and ship. Just my $.2.
I really like Rainchalk. You can get it from Midwest Turkey Call Supply. It has a resin material in it that helps provide more "grip" to the surface of box call lids/rails and friction call surfaces. I love the stuff.
I buy up old calls all the time , you would be surprised how many people use pool cue chalk to trash up a call
Thanks for the input guys, I was thinking of buying a case of railroad chalk but I wanted to get some input before I had a case of chalk laying around the shop if I didnt like it.
