I'm a new subscriber after seeing this posting! Question...does this recipe work like chalk paint? Can you distress and use colored waxes for effects? Is this something that you've tried? Either way, I am going to definitely be trying out this recipe. Thank you so much 👍

Traditionally, chalkboard chalk was made from calcium carbonate. Today, most is made up mostly of gypsum, so it probably wouldn't work the same. Great info and we are going to try this!

I started painting when I was 14 for a construction company. Back in the old days..lol. When we painted cabinets this is the recipe that the old painter gave me and I have used it for many years. He used athletic field marking chalk he got at the sports store or ace. Long before Annie was a thing. That stuff was solid as a rock. I use this on all my furniture I flip and sell and paint for a living, so yes, I can totally verify this is a tried and true method. I am so glad you shared this. It saves tons of money and I've never been happier with a finish. I've tried some of the name brands and they are good, but im thrifty and I can make gallons compared to small containers price wise. I've used this with all sheens of paint and brands, because I'm an oops user too! Thanks for sharing. You rock!!

thank you for sharing knowledge...it seems to me so ridiculous to pay 35 dollars for a quarter of paint just because is chalk paint or mineral paint...come on...right?

Lowes sells a clear primer called Kilz Klear, that would work great for the darker colored paints. Thanks for experimenting with the formula so we don’t have to!

As a kid, about 50 years ago, lived in a new development where there was continual building of houses going on. We would take the scrap sheet rock out of the trash piles, peel off the paper and use it for ALL the art supplies - chunks for sidewalk chalk, or crushed and mixed it with lots of water for a thick white paint or just a bit of water for “clay” . Lots of good memories! And hopefully nothing toxic in it.

I have so many things I ‘want’ to do and have held off because I simply don’t have the disposable income for the paint & supplies I need. This I think I can do money wise. I’m going to give it a “go”! Thank you so much! Everyone wish me luck I may make a ton of mistakes and my first makeover may be tacky, but it will make a world of difference in my senior lifestyle if I can conquer this! Again thank you all.

Good luck! Good for you for trying! I wish you the best, don’t give up if it doesn’t work out at first…you’ll learn so much along the way!!

This is the best concoction!!! I have been refinishing furniture for 5 years and decided when we refinished our bedroom set I wanted something easy to work with and not a ton of steps bc we just didn’t have time for multiple processes and wait times. This is truly amazing and streak free!!

Great video with amazing information, thank you! If you buy your paint from Home Depot and possibly Lowes, ask for a duplicate label of your paint (they can scan the little round custom paint label as long as the bar code is fully visible). Then you can put the duplicate label on the bottom of your "1 step paint" jar in case you need more. I always suggest that my customers put these on the back of switch plates, sides of cabinet drawers, etc for future reference.

You can find calcium carbonate powder at most vitamin stores, that's where I get mine :) for those reading, this is what makes the paint stick to all the things with little to no sanding. I also use an old immersion blender to mix or throw it in can and have them put it on the shaker at the hardware store if making a lot

Thank you so much for this video. I’m going to do this with some of my paints. You always have such great money making/ saving tips to share and I trust them. I’m using your “No Brush Strokes” method of painting / top coating using a 6 “ foam roller and love it. P.S. like your hair cut 🤗

I love that you are sharing this idea. I've been tempted to try. I do mix my own colors from behr sample paints. I mostly sew bit newish to other crafting. Ice tries painting ball jars in separate steps but our weird climate ranges one day too dry to next too humid. I can't get it to stick even prepping with a top coat or cleaning with alcohol. I also don't want to spend time waiting for paint to dry to go to next step. I have made my own chalk paint. I looked up what chalk was first. So chalk is mainly two ingredients in nature. Calcium and something else. Except Plaster of Paris has 3 and only found outside of Paris. It hardens more and why was used for casts. But any calcium product is supposed to work. I used powder plaster patch. But the article I read said to find the one with the fewest additives. So I did. It worked pretty good.

Wow! You really come up with great ideas!

I can't wait to try this!
