Does anyone have recommendations for some chalk that resists water very well?

I’d love any recommendations of brands, specific chemicals or properties to look for, or maybe questions that I would need to answer about the environment.

I’m planning to use my chalk on my asphalt driveway.

    You could try covering it with hairspray. That’s what we used to keep our charcoals from getting everywhere in art school.

    It should eventually wash away, but might help some.

    Krylon makes “marking spray chalk” that is temporary and takes anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks to fade. It’s what we used to paint the train tracks on our parking lot for a kiddie train at our fall festival event.

    Why? The whole point of chalk art is temporary. How are you going to clean the non water soluable substance you use? Chemicals? More permanent stuff is called paint, but it better be on your private property. The city does not want to immortalize your child’s brilliant art display.

    I would love to know as well.

    I would use it on Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell’s driveways.

    If it has to be water resistant, why using chalk instead of paint? Real question, not trying to make fun.
