I found it to be great for my needs You can make the perfect paint mix using this recipe
5/5

This has been my third bag and I'm really enjoying it. Despite what the instructions state on the bag, you should not follow them. The mix is exactly like Annie Sloan paint, I mix it with Behr Marquee 2 to 1 (2 parts paint to 1 part carbonate, NO WATER) . It is a 2 to 1 mix, just like Behr Marquee. My opinion is that it's actually better than what it was. My work consists of these things I am
- The PERFECT chalk paint recipe comes from this simple recipe A ratio of 1 part calcium carbonate to 2 parts paint is recommended. You do not need water to use it. The ratio of 1 cup of C carbonate to 2 cups of paint (half of the quart can) is sufficient to paint 2 intricate dressers and leave enough leftover to paint a few accessories. Combine half of the powder with the rest, then mix well (I use a $10 dollar hand mixer) and then add more powder and mix well Continue doing so until all lumps have been dissolved. It can be stored for months in a mason jar.

5/5

As a furniture refinisher, I am motivated to see fellow professionals A good prep and a good paint job is the key! For any questions, you can contact me on Facebook, Deer Run Revamps. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. The brand I've tried is different from the other brands I've tried, and I have a lot of half-used bags There's no comparison, as this one beats them all! The 5lb bag I use lasts me for In addition, I paint five paintings each year A weekday morning and an evening evening. It's a good idea to have any paint on hand, latex (which are mostly wall paints) or acrylic (which are mostly craft paints), a mixing cup, a spoon, an 8 ounce containers (or larger or smaller depending on your needs), 3, Use 4 tablespoons of calcium carbonate (or more, or less if you like your paint chalkier), and a LOT of The 8 ounce container can be filled with paint. A measure of about 3 inches should be taken You will need 4 tablespoons of calcium carbonate for this batch. Fill your empty mixing cup with the calcium carbonate. Add hot water to the flour until you get a thick pancake-like batter (as hot as the tap will allow). Pour a little more hot water in the paint if you prefer it runny. For reasons that I have explained above, I prefer thick paints since I mist my surface while I paint to prevent Mix the calcium carbonate into the paste, and stir it until it has been absorbed completely, about 30 minutes A 45-second timer. Add your paint mixture to the mixture, and then mix it up. This chalk like paint is good enough to pass for any big name brand! Have fun painting!.

5/5

(Grab coupons) Sherwin Williams has been my favorite brand for 2 years. I will continue to use it if the discount continues, and I get a full 11-year warranty with it. The flat paint will cost you 12 dollars since when researching how to make chalk paint you don't want to use Making the recipe according to the directions. As I gather from others, I use a small amount of water in the beginning, just enough to get a thick The next step is to mix the calcium carbonate with paint in a ratio of 1 part to 2 parts. I do this in a plastic, gallon size container with a lid or big enough to use a hand held mixer. The ones at Lowe's or Home Depot are only $2 each A dollar and three cents. Honestly, mine last for over a year if I give them unique names. You should wear a cover when working with chalk paint. Fast drying is one of its main features. Swallowing the round bristle brushes across your hand before use will loosen and remove any stray bristles that might get into the painting. It is recommended that you have a good boars head round bristle brush. In normal circumstances, I only need to apply two coats. You can find information and articles on everything related to chalkpainting on YouTube or Pinterest. It is fragile until you apply the wax of your choice. It's not necessary to buy Annie Sloan paint at Annie Sloan prices. When I see how amazing chalkpaint can be, I give away the extra paint from my gallons of buys or make quart-size bottles. After they realize how amazing chalkpaint is, everyone wants to do projects.

In the past, I have used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to great effect
5/5

But I tried to save money at the same time. Past projects that I have painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint have proven to be successful. It intrigued me, however, how I could make chalk paint myself and save money. As a result of some research on the internet, I discovered this product. I was able to mix my own chalk paint in the colors of my choice and was very pleased with the results. I only needed one coat to achieve full coverage. As normal for me, I sanded, waxed, and distressed my piece of furniture for a beautiful appearance. It was so easy to mix my own chalk paint in the colors of my choice for a fraction of the price of store brands. One coat of this product is enough to provide full coverage. Quite a bit of calcium bicarbonate powdery is left over so I can mix up a whole Buying expensive pre-owned vehicles is no longer an option for me Once again, I painted with chalk paint. I was so happy with how easy it was to make this, it exceeded my expectations!.

The best DIY chalk paint additive
5/5

My wife had a busy furniture refinishing business and tried every DIY recipe, but this is by far the best. She used to use plaster of paris as one online review said that it was similar to calcium carbonate but that is not true. Rather than going to the hardware store up the street for plaster, it would be more advisable to wait for them. Don't use with enamel paint, on the flat or on the round. It turns out that Olympic Assure paint and primer are her favorites. It's an easy DIY chalk paint you can do yourself. Please add Fiddes and On furniture, use either Son's wax (to protect it from water) or Pollyacrylic (to protect it from water stains from dishes and cups).

This is such a great idea! Using this method, I was able to get rid of my chalk paint problems
5/5

My recipe for plaster of paris chalk paint was getting really grainy as I tried to use it. By using Calcium Carbonate Powder, you can also achieve a longer-lasting paint that has a better consistency. When I combine it with sherwin williams flat ovation paint (in accordance with directions on the bag), it is.

A paint made from chalk
5/5

For my wife, who is currently refinishing multiple pieces of furniture, this kit will make chalk paint for her. She wants multiple colors of chalk paint since she is in the process of refinishing multiple pieces of furniture. We found some recipes on the internet to make our own paint using calcium carbonate after some digging. My search for calcium carbonate continued, and I found that it came The finished product matched the more expensive, name brand chalk paint. This was achieved using cheap paint from the big box stores that had been returned. The results we get with this product are consistent several colors and protects later, we use it every day to mix the paints ourselves. You can make your own chalk paint with this method at a very low cost.
