I thought this recipe was a great idea, and I'm sure it works well for most, but I wanted to add my experience for anyone who might be doing a similar project to save them from the hassle. My husband has also met another sign maker who ran into the exact same issues. I used this recipe to white wash the background on a bunch of my wood signs, and I applied the paint to the surface using this exact recipe and scraping the excess paint off the wood according to another Upcycled video to get that washed look. I don't know what I did wrong because I made this recipe according to the instructions several times. If ANY moisture touches this paint after it has dried and cured, it fades horribly and comes right off. So definitely seal it! I even hot glued some twine around the edges of a few signs and after about a week, it looked like there was grease all around the sides of the twine. So I tried sealing it. I did some research and found that water-based spar urethane works great for painted wood surfaces because it won't cause white paint to yellow. I tried that in both spray cans and brush on, interior and exterior. Spray worked great and did the trick wonderfully! However, the brush on urethane caused the white wash to thin so bad that I wanted to quit white washing anything altogether. But, it is water based spar urethane after all, so I'm sure the "water base" is what caused it to thin out. I've since stopped using this recipe in favor of the more expensive store bought chalk paints and there is a world of difference. We were recently advised by a professional wood worker to switch away from the spar urethane and spray on a crystal clear lacquer instead. He swore by it and said that is the only thing he ever uses, so we'll see. Maybe that will help seal this homemade chalk paint better. The other issue I've noticed is if you are using this chalk paint over pine wood, the knots tend to bleed quicker and heavier through this paint. Sometimes the cheap solutions end up causing long term headaches, and I feel like my product quality with this cheap paint has cheapened my work considerably.
I have recently discovered that pouring boiling water inside the bottle melts the adhesive on the back of the label. It takes less than a minute to pour it in and remove the labels. They come off in one piece most of the time.
I use calicium cabornate. Have you ever tired that it’s alit more thicker and. Is so a wonderful looking chalk paint Just wanted to share with you.
Plaster of Paris added to acrylic paint as a slurry will begin to cure (harden) as soon as the dry form is hydrated. The reaction is mildly exothermic. IOW if the goal is to paint a large area best to mix the paint and PoP in small amounts and washing the brush or other applicator ASAP. Once set ecpecially in an acrylic or waterbourne medium at hard brush is only then good for mashing cockroaches or other creepy crawlers. A more forgiving home brew mix would be adding chalk (calcium carbonate) to the waterbourne medium (s) Be aware that adding either or both additives to aklyd (sometimes called oil base paints) is not going to work except a a filler. As of this date, the prices for "chalk paint" are dropping. Amazon has a name brand for nearly a US quart for $11.95 (30oz) This is much less than even the big box stores plus this same paintmaker has a flat or matte topcoat formulated for the protective coating over the fragile and very porous "chalk" paints. "Chalk" paints can also be tinted with UTC's (universal tinting colors) inexpensive artiists acylics, Inks and name brand fabric dyes. Paint recyclers generate many thousands of gallons of paint in limited colors from "old" acrylic base paints, Generally repackaged and sold in sometime gallon and many more time if 5 gallon lots. We might,i f tasked painting a whole exterior of a house, could add a sack full of chalk to some of this paint have house flipping as the new thing for chalk paint.
It works with acrylic paint, too. I used some shiny, thin, old, acrylic paint that I had, and it worked great.

Chalk paint recipe: 1 cup flat paint, 1/3 cup of water, 1/3 cup of plaster of Paris. Thank you!
Hi, I couldn’t quite hear why you can’t use other paint colors ?
Made two batches and it totally thickened up....I looked at the type of paint I bought...it had PRIMER in it. Lesson learned and to share with others....make sure the flat paint does NOT have a primer mixed in with it! I eventually found FLAT ceiling paint with NO primer by Behr (but I am sure any ceiling paint will do). Finding a flat paint with NO primer proved to be very difficult.
I have used this recipe as well. It does make a really fine chalk paint.
I really appreciate that you explain the materials as well as the techniques so well! Thanks!!
Love this... Goes on better than store bought. Thanks for sharing ❤️😊☺️
Wow. So easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! So excited to make my own chalk paint!!
I found it! Can’t wait to try it. All other recipes I’ve seen use baking soda. I’ll be heading to Hobby Lobby ASAP to get Plaster of Paris. Thank you!
When you have never heard of plaster of paris, it is intimidating. I am thankful to God that you showed the container.
Thank you I tried it and it works great!
Well to answer your community post again, it’s seems I do enjoy your tutorials very much! Another great video!😊
