I painted a table with chalk paint and then clear wax and then dark wax about a month ago. It is still tacky. What can I do?
Hi Karen. I used chalk paint on a desk that was press board. All I did was wipe it down good with mineral spirits to clean it. Then I put a few coats of the chalk paint on. I used Rustoleum brand that I found at a local hardware store. Last I put a clear coat protective spray on that was also for the Rustoleum chalk paint. It is holding up and well and looks great!
Karen: Chalk paint will go on most anything! It's amazing! Check out the video tutorials on this website:
