Chalk consistency

How thick the liquid is, from watery to paste.

Thin liquid spreads into a film and dries faster. Paste covers more skin per squeeze and is easier to over-apply. Over-application is what leaves a white smear on a bar and a gummy coat on a climbing hold.

Consistency also changes in the bottle. Alcohol evaporates through a loose cap, and the rest gets thicker. If you have to dig it out, it is time for a smaller squeeze, not a bigger one.
