Donna McCrummen on Jan 21, 2012Well I just got back from an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Workshop. YES, if I wax, stain or oil the piece first then decide to paint I don't have to prep at all.....Love Love Love chalk paint.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Jan 22, 2012Donna..I have had some good results "patching" veneer with more veneer. To make the repair easier I will cut the Hole into a more usable shape...like a triangle or rect. Then the "patch" can be fitted to match this shape. The patch gets, glued in place, then stained to match...from there you can top coat. I have not used chalk paint, at least not yet, but in using other paints wax contaminate can lead to bubbling...to reduce this effect a "wipe down" with thinner can help with removing wax residue...its a minor step, and will helpHelpful Reply

Donna McCrummen on Jan 22, 2012The plan is ASCP - Duck Egg blue on the inside and the inside of the drawer and Old White on the body. I'm so excited about this piece. KMS - I knew you would have great advice I'm actually going to try this even though a bit of putty would work before paint. Great practice!! Thank you.Helpful Reply

Dan's of Central Florida, Inc. on Jan 22, 2012Like KMS I have not used the chaulk paint myself. But, like he said, normally you want to remove as much wax and such as possible if you are going to paint. I wouldn't use Old English for that matter either.Helpful Reply
