    Chalk paint does clump if not mixed smoothly. Maybe you poured all of the "chalk" material in at one time. There are so many recipes and I'm sure they are not equal. If you have an old hand mixer or emulsifier or immersion blender, try that. I bought each of those kitchen items for less than ten dollars each during the last three years. Some electric screwdrivers have a paint mixer attachment. If you have to make chalk paint by hand, to your latex paint add only about 1/4 cup at a time, mixing each addition thoroughly before you add more. A big mixing spoon and an old fork to check for lumps is what I use. Best wishes πŸ˜‡

      Clap, clap, clap Jewell for figuring out cp. When I saw your answer I hit my hand to my head and said. "Of course! Duh" So much for me being a gal who likes to paint. LOL

    Thanks, @LindaSikut. There are so many terms in crafting that I still don't know. But as a teacher, my life was a swirl with as many initial as in the military. A little mystery like cp makes me learn crafting terms faster and more thoroughly. Bless you πŸ˜‡
