In reply to A Nidderdale boulderer.: but clearly you are, sorry if I take your posts with a hint of salt, but you ARE trying to sell me something, and salt is unavoidable. Secondly, since I have no idea what I'm doing; I'm just trying simple stuff out for now, dissing is not really an issue (and I don't really care), and any advice, ideas, etc. will be taken into consideration, but yes, it does form a barrier, but on a rest day (as yesterday was) I don't really do much (the percs of being unemployed), and given time it will absorb (also, which is why I said a hint of water), but I'm more than willing to change my method.
I don't think I have enough to start melting and trying out through different mixtures and just applying it to find one, I'd guess I have a few, but I don't wanna get it wrong, I'm just hesitant, I might try, but I want to be sure before I start messing around and realise that whoops, I'm out, and for now, applying a layer is not really depriving me of this future event.
ps. my product will be formulated by a climber.
sorry, I don't doubt your product, I just don't wanna buy it.
