liquid chalk for Gymnastics?

UPDATE

I got some feedback on this radical idea. ย Male gymnasts tried it at one club but quickly abandoned the idea. ย It didn’t work as well for H Bar.

Dr. Bill Sands sent a Safety Data Sheet on Isopropyl Alcoholย (50-100%).

Risks include the fact that Isopropyl Alcohol is flammable. And some are allergic toย topical alcohol.ย 

All in all, I don’t think I’d try liquid chalk.ย 

___ original post:

Steve Arkell linked to this video, a rock climber making her own liquid chalk.

Alcohol is a component, a disinfectant.

I checked with a rock climbing coach who agreed it couldn’t hurt to use chalk with alcohol on reopening after COVID-19. ย On climbing walls. And in sports like Gymnastics.

He suggested we could use 100% alcohol in the formula.

When kids are in the Gym we should remind them not to touch their face, as well.
