Hi all
What is the easiest way to crush Chalk. (lots of small amounts but heaps of colours to get through)
I cant do mortar and Pestle anymore!!!
Cheers

I like the hammer idea as my chalk is all little bits and I would grate my fingers on the gauze lol
Thank you all for your responses

I wonder if an electric pencil sharpener would work if you had longer bits???
