It's good but it makes a mess also. It's just liquid chalk. What you want is Xtreme Formulations Liquid Chalk. It's called liquid chalk but doesn't make a mess at all and also has hand sanitizer built in. The "Liquid Grip" stuff is fine if your gym allows chalk, but its not nearly as good as Xtreme Formulations "Liquid Chalk". I haven't been able to find it in stock anyway for the past few months though. That is the only reason I'm using Liquid Grip right now.
