I'm sure glad you did this comparison Patti!! There is so many way's to make chalk paint and I really never knew which one was really the best but now I now!!! Thank you for the demo so we could actually see all of them side by side!!! Your the BOMB my friend!!!🥰
Hello mam!! Im from the Philippines and i want to learn how how to make a good chalk paint..thanks you for this..but can you share what paint should i use..?
The calcium carbonate is my favorite as well. I tried all of those ingredients as well. I love chalk paint. So I had to find a cheaper way of painting. Learned how to make my own. If I want a grit consistency. I use the baking soda and paint. It definitely makes it feel like concrete. I like to use it on vases now and then.
Thanks Tammy. The baking soda would be great for concrete. I think the plaster and baking soda together would be great too. I will have to try that. Happy Easter
Just love all your video’s. I bought both plaster of Paris and calcium carbonate about a year ago and never tried yet. You have inspired me to use the CC.
Excellent video! Concise and well executed showing all comparisons. Love that it was a quick video that I didn’t get “lost” with overly done explanations. You made a subscriber out of me 🙂. I will definitely use your favorite method in future since I recently invested a small fortune on many ready made chalk paints. TYFS your time and knowledge with us.
Very interesting thank you for all the information sometimes you can't find that color of chalk paint, but now we know. Thank you for the class CHALK PAINT 101.
Hi Patti! I agree with you on the CC product it was extremely close to the look of the Waverly Chalk paint, and loved the fact that you can store it for other projects later on, as always thanks for sharing. Have a Happy Easter 🐣 and blessings to you and your family.
Thank You 😊 This was a fun one to make. The Calcium carbonate is the winner. I made this last year, and my paint is still liquid and works just like I just made it.
Thanks for sharing your test. I really like the Calcium Carbonate. It is hard to find non-food grade here in Canada and the other is very expensive on Amazon. I found the cheapest at a local wine making supply store! Benjamin Moore paints just had a sale of their testers - 50% off - I bought lots of colors!
I will have to check the wine making supply store for that I did'nt think of that. I love when they have the testers for 50% off. I usually load up. Thanks, Patti. Happy Easter.
Tysm Patti for doing this video! I saw someone else suggest a gnome idea and I would love to see you do a softball gnome. So many young girls out there would love one I’m sure! Thank you for all you do and Happy Easter 🐣
@@PattiJGood I think you could do either and everyone could adapt to what they wanted, but I guess I was thinking a girl because of my granddaughter! 😁
Patti buenas tardes. Mi esposo compró pintura blanca pero es económica, y aún quedan como 15 litros. No quiero desperdiciarla. Habría una forma de componerla, pues quiero seguir tu técnica para la chalk paint. Para 1 litro de pintura, necesito 16 cuchardas (de 15ml x cucharada)de carbonato de calcio? O sea sería 60ml ó gramos para el litro de puntura?Miles y miles de gracias
Yep Patti always thinking of new stuff. Wow well I don't think I have any furniture to redo but there is always something else in my though produces for something. LOL I see those short sleeves and outside meaning it's nice outside well are you lucky! Well next week we might hit 70 hooorraahj!!!😂❤🎉
Hola me ha encantado el tutorial. Puedo usar alguna imprimación, para mi vitrina, ya que está enlacada y no tiene rayaduras. Sólo quiero cambiarla a color blanco. Es negra con verde sargento. otra pregunta más: Quisiera preguntarte si puedo usar Blanco de España o yeso de construccion, pues me lo venden como carbonato de calcio también. Gracias gracias gracias
I love this video! I had no idea you could make chalk paint. You picked the perfect black that works well with cool or warm tones. And I love your measuring cups 😁 I would love to see a video of you using the DT resin. Maybe an abstract painting? Or geode look. I was thinking about that gold/ silver/cooper leaf streds I have seen at DT and some glitter and sand. I have an image in my head but not sure how to execute. I wonder if you could dump acrylic paint in layers on the center of a canvas and then use a blow dryer to make colors bleed together. But I think the resin would have to be mixed into acrylic paint. Idk 😅
So is the calcium carbonate the one you have decided to use on your piece of furniture? I can’t wait for final results!!! Thank you for sharing your test with us, if you love the end results that could definitely be a game changer for some that paint a lot of big pieces❣️
Patti, buen día. Pinté la puerta de un mueble de cocina con chalk paint usando un rodillo que es como de terciopelo. (Es la primera vez que pinto con ésta pintura). Pero me quedaron marcas, como jazpeado y necesito que la superficie me quede lisa, porque es de cocina integral. Así que me decidí lijar.Mi pregunta es: debo pintar de nuevo sin problema alguno, si es con brocha o rodillo y qué tipo. Gracias por tus respuestas. Saludos desde México ❤❤
Deberías poder agregar otra capa de pintura. Debe usar un lavado de pintura con tiza después de que la pintura se seque para darle un acabado agradable que sea fácil de limpiar.
Te agradezco mucho Quedó muy bien. Al finalizar apliqué barníz al agua, y dejé secar, para darle otra mano. Eres formidable❤ gracias gracias gracias. Saludos desde México @@PattiJGood
I don’t do big projects, but I just grind up sidewalk chalk (calcium carbonate). What I like is that since it comes in colors I can match it to my paint and don’t have to worry about it lightening up on me. For black I just mix red yellow and blue chalk into black paint.(I just discovered black sidewalk chalk exists)
@@PattiJGood the easiest way i have found to grind it is to just scrape it in a mesh sieve. Just falls into a bowl. Much easier to clean up than my old coffee grinder.
Thank you for this video. A very good comparison test of all the different products used thank you for sharing you have a blessed day in the name of Jesus Christ
Hi Patti.. Love your video's. rather watch these than regular TV Would like to know tho, what type of paint you use to make your chalk paint.. Would regular emulsion work ? Thank you & keep creating.
Hello Patti, this was very interesting, did they have any differences in smell after 24 hours, not on the canvas but in the bowls? Just curious, because some paints have a certain smell after time. Wishing you and your family a Blessed Easter.🤗❤✝️

From my experience, calcium carbinate is best. Very smooth, not gritty. Baking soda and plaster are gritty, bit sands well. But I will use what I have on hand.
Don't be so rude, she's right, it was the final product that mattered, she told you the consistency. What were you thinking, making that comment like that. Would you speak to a stranger in front of you that way? Umm no!

I did one cup.

Hi Patti - can you trial the Baby Powder Talc method?
I'll have to look at that one. Thanks, Patti
Using acrylic paint? I always see recipes for latex. I dont know much about paint but is it acrylic and flat or can use satin?
I used flat. It's just house paint.
Thanks, a good information, i am from Indonesia
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching. I am from Texas.
@@PattiJGood ♥
Terrific. Thanks
Thank you so much 🙂😊🙂
Which paint not 2 use with this chalk mix acrylic enamel,or latex, or these are ok?
I used latex
Thank you, Patti. I've always used baking powder. I will be changing now. Nobody wants a gritty paint. I never even noticed. Duh me!!🤪🤣😂🤣
Thank you. TSomeone commented that the calcium carbinate can also be made by grinding up chalk. I may have to try that. Have a great weekend.
@PattiJGood aww great idea. You have a wonderful weekend as well.😀
I want you to do this whole experiment again, but paint over furniture-drawers or something so we can see how well these cover and stick
I used the one that worked the best in this video ruclips.net/video/yaUu_eXT9dA/видео.html. This was the one with the calcium carbonate.
Can you use any acrylic paint?
You probably could, I have not tried it.
Which paint to use?
Can i use this paint on clay pot ?
Absolutely, it works great on clay pots. Thanks, Patti
What kind of paint is the base for mixing? Acrylic?
It's water based latex paint.
Can you use acrylic paint for the cc mix?
Which black paint is used.
Enamel or water colour
I used latex wall paint in flat

Calcium carbonate is chalk isn’t it ? I think so , you can also make it with talcum powder.
Yes, it is chalk. I'm not sure about talcum powder, but I have heard people use that.
Amazon doesn’t have calcium carbonate in Canada. I typed it in search, I get No Result!
Here is the link for some from Amazon in Canada. tinyurl.com/mwjxkb7s Thanks, Patti
i used to think chalk paint was to make chalk boards but I see now that's not the case
That's funny, I use to think that too. 😂😂😂
Plaster of Paris is not worth it. You have to paint quickly bc it hardens fast and you can’t even save your leftovers. I prefer calcium carbonate.
I learned that doing this video. The next day the plaster one was sold. Yikes.
I’m going to try borax.
I would love to hear how that turns out.
i thought calcium carbonate was baking soda? Lol
It's a little different. It's not gritty.

They are toy fox terriers. Very similar to rat terriers.
@@PattiJGood I have a rat terrier. They are very loving and caring dogs. I rescued mine.
