Chalk application timing
When you put it on: after the hands are dry, and long enough before you pull that the coat has set.

Apply after warm-up sweat has started only if you then dry the hand and wait. Chalk painted onto dripping sweat makes mud. For an alcohol liquid, a thin coat usually sets before a normal rest between sets. For an alcohol-free cream, wait longer and test it on a light set.
In a meet, chalk in the warm-up room and again at the chalk bowl if one is provided. Do not walk onto an IPF platform and rub chalk into the bar. The foreign-substance rule is about the equipment, not your hands.
SPORTMEDIQ Pro Grade Liquid Chalk

The title says it dries in seconds. That is the brand's claim. Wait until the coat looks dry before you pull.
