This is the home made recipe I use: 1/3 cup plaster of Paris and 1/3 cup cool water. Mix thoroughly. Add 1 cup latex paint and stir thoroughly. This will cover one dresser with six drawers one time. Do not store left over chalk paint, do not try to reuse later.

Use 1/3 cup plaster of Paris 1/3 cup Water and 1 cup latex paint. Mix well until smooth.

Thanks. Does using baking soda with the latex paint have the same results as using plaster of paris. I'm painting an old wood dresser.

You are very welcome.
