What is the white chalk in my aluminum water bottle and how do I get rid of it?
Q. I have two aluminum water bottles and I've only used one so far, after a few days I noticed that there was some white chalk on the inside of the bottle. After washing and soaking I still can't remove the chalk that has formed. Any ideas on what this stuff is and how I can get rid of it? Also if anyone knows is it harmful?

A. Sounds like hard water build up, but I don't think that would start showing up so soon. It usually takes more than a few days. Anyway, try putting some vinegar in the bottle, with a spoonful of uncooked rice. Put the cap on and shake like mad. The vinegar will dissolve the mineral build up (if that is what it is) and the rice will act like a scouring pad. Rinse very well after using the vinegar, then leave the cap off of the water bottle overnight to let the smell evaporate.

How do I remove dried mud/chalk completely from rubber floor mats?
Q. The chalk in the mud leaves big white marks on the mats, and it's very hard to get rid of them. I have tried all kinds of cleaning products, plus leaving the mats in warm water for several hours and then scrubbing them. But every time they dry I can see some of the chalk is still there. Any suggestions? They're washed once a week, so it's not because the mud is very old or anything.

A. I have the same problem as there's a lot of chalk in the ground where I live and there seems to be no easy way to get it off the mats. What I do is leave them in the tub for an hour or so, scrub them, drain the water out of the tub, then scrub them with lots of soap (or whatever you prefer to use), leave them for at least 30 minutes with the soap still on them, scrub again, and then rinse the soap off. So far that has worked the best for me. And like you I have also tried so many different things. The key seems to be to leave the soap on there for a while (no water) after a good scrub.

How can you make chalk that can be used to write on blackboards? What are the procedures and materials?
Q. What are the procedures and materials? The chalk should be able to write well in blackboards. Please explain.
Asked by elvesrattackingme - Thu Nov 8 06:05:50 2007 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. The mineral chalk is calcium carbonate, but blackboard chalk is actually gypsum, hydrated calcium sulphate, CaSO4.2H2O, because calcium carbonate is a little bit too crumbly. Here is what Wikipedia says: From Wikipedia article on "Chalk": Although traditionally composed of natural chalk, modern blackboard chalk is generally made from the mineral gypsum (calcium sulfate), often supplied in sticks of compressed powder about 10 cm long. I should imagine that small amounts of starch or some similar binder is also used, to make the particles stick together.

How can I tell whether some old chalk is clay chalk or calcium carbonate chalk?
Q. I have some old chalk and I need to know what kind it is before I use it on a new chalkboard. I do not have the package that the chalk came in anymore.

A. Scrape a little of the chalk into a bottle cap, saucer, or other small container. Add a few drop of vinegar - if it fizzes, it's probably calcium carbonate, if it doesn't, it's probably not.

How exactly does drawing a circle of chalk on the ground and sitting inside it protect you from demons?
Q. I saw this advice on Y/A today as one of the ways you can protect yourself from demons while using the ouija board. I am curious to know how it works. Are demons allergic to chalk or something?
Asked by Tukmyhamster - Tue Jul 20 08:42:59 2010 - - 22 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Casting a circle is a pagan practice. It keeps things in and out. The actual chalk and visual presence of the circle is not where the protection comes from, it comes from the intent of the circle caster. The person who casts the circle has to do so with the intent of it being for protection in order for it to protect. The chalk is just a tool. A circle can be cast without the use of chalk. It can be cast by walking around in a circle, using a stick of incense and tracing a circle, or just mentally visualizing a circle of protection around the person.

What is the difference between tailor's chalk and normal chalk?

Asked by Grr. - Tue Aug 24 09:15:08 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Another good choice for marking is bar soap slivers that have worn to a sharp edge. When they get to that stage, toss them in a drawer so they can dry out, then use them for marking. The big issue with standard blackboard chalk is that it tends to be harder than tailor's chalk, and is so blunt it doesn't mark accurately unless you sharpen it into a chisel shape. If you want to do it like a professional, you'll mark around your pattern, and then cut away the entire line, leaving something the size and shape of the original pattern, like: Magical thefts from the sewing room are often cat-related in this house... as are thread tensions that go wonky while sewing -- until you notice the kitten paw on the thread spool.

Asked by bhandel76 - Sat Aug 8 15:08:20 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You can put glossy Formica (laminate used for counters) on a backing and use that as white board. A counter company could cut you a disk or you can buy sheet Formica and glue it yourself. It really helps to have a router and a laminate trimming bit for a nice edge. There has recently come on the market a glossy White Board paint that does not absorb these markers the way that ordinary gloss paint tends to do. Here is one brand and searching for Dry Erase or Whiteboard paint will show you others. Personally, if you do go this route, I would use an extra smooth MDF or hardwood plywood material from which to cut the disk.
