Hello Ronaele, we have never tested other products with ours so we highly recommend using Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint with the Dixie Crackle. But if your heart is set on using the homemade paint, try it out on a small sample piece first to see how it reacts. Hopefully this helps!
Ask the paint pros at your home improvement store. They should be able to answer all of your questions about paints, stains, application tools and other project issues.
I find my local paint store doesn’t know much about chalk paint. They push you towards latex. I would follow Dixie Belle’s advice and just test it on a sample board. I bet it will work.
