Yes I’ll be trying it Greg School’s way. Sounds faster, easier and less damage to the dried paint.

WOW! I was ready to go paint and I kept reading these comments. Now I'm just baffled. Several other tutorials don't require the paint to be flat. They also don't add water. Their paint is much thicker than yours. I'm just going to do what my gut tells me!

Don’t be discouraged.. there’s a lot of information out there on the wild wild web that’s dubious at best, ill informed, and just plain wrong.. but there’s also good sound info by people like myself who have the experience and hundreds of projects under our belts who know what is correct, how to fix missteps , and are willing to share!

Thank you Greg! Your encouraging comment made me realize that I need to find one source and stay with that source and stop surfing the web! I appreciate your experience, your honesty and your willingness to share. So I'm sticking with you! I painted my first piece with the homemade chalk paint and it's beautiful!! STOP ME! I'm going to chalk paint everything! Thanks Greg!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I wish someone would detail the process of mixing and pouring paint for projects. It would be so helpful to see. Like do you mix entire can every time? Then how do you pour it without making a mess and it getting in the edges? Does everyone wear gloves? they are ubiquitous now so maybe but I still get paint all over. Do you wear an apron? Put down newspapers or dropcloth?
How long does it take to dry?
Can you clean this later by wiping with a damp cloth?
