Jonathan from Liquid Grip here! Thanks s...Hi Dave,<br /><br />Jonathan from Liquid Grip here! Thanks so much for testing the product we really appreciate it and are very happy you will use the product for fingerboarding and in the gym. Don't worry about the tiny amount of rosin, there is zero transference to any surface, it doesn't even leave marks on clothing. Liquid Grip is a lot better for rock than even normal chalk.<br /><br />You say you have very sweaty hands so may we suggest in the future when applying Liquid Grip, to make sure the hands are completely dry, to coat the hands rather than rub it in vigorously and finally let it dry fully for 60-90 seconds to allow it to bind to the skin (which no other chalk product does).<br /><br />We have had fantastic results with other experienced climbers including well known climber Paul Craven and a wall owner, Paul Russell of the fantastic www.quayclimbingcentre.co.uk who completed 11 routes with one coat of Liquid Grip and no chalk and has now asked us to sponsor his youth squad.<br /><br />Ian Birtwistle, committee member of the NMC also tested and wrote this fantastic review for us http://thenmc.org.uk/community/topic/2445-review-liquid-grip-a-better-liquid-chalk/#entry3659<br /><br />I think it comes down to the fact that people will always have different preferences with everything. What works for one may not work for another.<br /><br />Dave, I hope after using it more in the house and gym you will give it another go on the wall even if it's for a long lasting base coat to chalk. <br /><br />Stay in touch!<br /><br />Jon<br />Liquid GripAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017181650526179224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-81926433292030056842012-10-21T19:40:45.508+01:002012-10-21T19:40:45.508+01:00Hi Dave.
Love your blog. Just wanted to add that ...Hi Dave. <br />Love your blog. Just wanted to add that I recently discovered DMM liquid chalk has resin in (though it's cryptically listed as "colophonium"). I've used it a little, but haven't noticed much difference between it and non-resinous liquid chalks. I do know that the bags of resin (aka poff "ghosts") used in Font over the years have created a slick resin on many classic problems. But that was through a more direct application of the stuff...<br /><br />Many athletes use grip potions like the one you talk about here: weight lifters, pole dancers (I'm serious), foosball players, etc. But I do feel the types of things climbers are looking for in a "grip enhancer" are pretty different than most other folks, mainly due to the small amount of contact between skin and surface we typically deal with (i.e., tips only), and the irregularity of the surfaces we climb, too.<br /><br />If you're looking for a little toilet reading material on the ol' iPad, check out my non-exhaustive list of "Crap Climbers Put on their Hands": http://thestonemind.com/2012/10/16/from-chalk-to-salve-crap-climbers-put-on-their-hands/<br /><br />Thanks, and keep up the great work!<br /><br />Justinjriggedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699626668535691274noreply@blogger.com
