Oh, thank you so much for a positive response and the information about chalk.
I'll pull it up now and check it out.
It's nice to know someone that sends a nice response.

Ok, now you have done it. You are shamelessly advertising your product illegally on this website. You are not a member of our community. You are being a dick to members of this community, and you are now bragging about your credentials. It is a shame that the six years of college you had after community college didn't teach you to write, spell, or be professional.

Just a side note. Research has shown a few things...
Aluminium IS a neurotoxin effecting the blood brain barrier, and some studies have pointed out that it may cause numerous other health problems including renal failure and anemia.
Aluminium levels have been found to be higher in some Alzheimers patients, though this is currently thought to be an effect of the disease rather then a casual cause.
Studies have shown that aluminium absorption across the epidermis is negligible, and aluminium containing antiperspirants do not increase aluminium levels enough to induce any level of toxicity.
This is based on my very limited research into the subject, and I recommend you ignore it completely and treat it as made up garbage.
I am in no way recommending the use of Tite-Grip or any other powerful antiperspirant on the market (eg. antihydral), I'm just putting in what limited information I have on the aluminium debate.
And for the record - Magnesium Carbonate's "International Occupational Safety and Health Information Centre (CIS)" saftey card states that the only risk from inhalation is "nuisance-causing" unless it has a >1% crystalline silica concentration, in which case it may have "effects on the lungs" but these are not implied to be major.
Happy hunting.

OH, we missed the occasional chalk (magnesium carbonate) handprint on another climbers dark clothing "preferably the butt, thigh, back, shoulders and on the rare occasion the lung cans". let's see ya do that with Tite-Grip.... SHA-BAM!

Your product is not "used the world over in rock climbing." In fact, in 30 years of climbing "the world over," I have never known anyone to use this product--until Lena posted above.

I love blowing huge chalk clouds out through my fists. No other climbing product gives me such satisfaction.

In reply to: Tite-Grip in all sports, is applied before engaging in the sport. It eliminates the moisture in 30 seconds and keeps your hands dry for up to 4 hours.
Waterproofing my hands isn't necessary for me.
In reply to: Several Rock Climbing Companies distribute Tite-Grip so our company knows pretty well how to market.
The company you work for may know how to market. You do not.
In reply to: If you are such a hotshot about marketing, maybe you would like to become a distributor. It is used in all sports world-wide, so you could test the market and make a fortune.
I am not a hot shot at any such thing and don't proclaim to be. I have a day job, thanks for the offer. I know it is used in many sports, I have not tested it myself, and do not plan to as the mere thought of it makes me sick.
In reply to: Not bragging, but I was fortunate to have the opportunity to have six more years of college beyond community college and am proud to have a professional degree.
Go back to that school and get your money back.
In reply to: I'm sorry for all these negative replies received about our product. Seems like some people just don't appreciate someone trying to give them new information to enhance their sport. Without trying something new, how can you judge the results?
Not apologizing for negative reviews is a good first step to marketing something BTW. I stood corrected when someone with experience let me know. When it comes to you, Mr. Senior Moment, I don't appreciate the arbitrary approach to selling this product. It's simple and MHO.
At this point, I won't try it simply because their salespeople are incompetent.

Interesting there has been a review of the product on the site for years.
http://www.rockclimbing.com/gear/Archive/Tite-Grip_3422.html
Seems that several people think that it is a good product. I have no bias either way. Just wanted to point it out.
Cheers

Here is a link to a very interesting study about the dangers of chalk. http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org...ent/full/101/19/1330 THis might help alot with advertising your product.
Well played good sir, well played!

My brother ordered some and I used it several times. It does work well but I like my chalks so it's basically overkill during all but the summer months. When it's hot and humid out, using them both goes a long way towards keeping the hands dry.
That said, he ran out awhile back and neither of us have ordered more so it's obviously not a "must have".

Thanks for the information.
Maybe it will allay some misconceptions about Tite-Grip and nice to show the various Mountain Climbing Suppliers that distribute it.
I'm sure they will gladly give testimonials for any doubters.
Thanks for the time on the forum and I've enjoyed all the positive and negative feedback.

Just for the record, you've still being a jerk-off using underhand advertisement tactics. If you're going to come into an online community (and this one is pretty close as far as online communities go) and pretty to be all paly-pal discussing some "new product you've heard of" is pretty lame. To then go ahead and lie about the product is also very lame.
If you've going to come in here and be like that you might as well actually read the articles linked and the other peoples posts. You're just another internet spammer asswhipe coming in spewing your shit over our forums.
Is it just me, or does anyone else here feel like buying some antihydral?
