4 Ways to Make Your Rocks Smoother for Painting | Painting Rocks | Rocktastic Arts.

To buy my vinyl decals, waterslide decals, printable vinyl decals and mandala patterns from my website: WWW.ROCKTASTICARTS.COM
I see a lot of people asking on social media how to make rocks smooth enough for painting. So I tested many ways to make rocks smoother, and in this video, I show you the best 4 different ways to make your rocks smooth. These methods work to smooth natural rocks and it also works to fill in the air holes in the rocks you make using gypsum/ concrete/ plaster. My favourite way is the wood filler. It is the easiest way to use, least mess, and because you don’t use that much, the wood filler lasts forever, and it doesn’t dry out like the sparkle if you don’t use it for a very long time. All the links for the products I used are below.

I never thought to use wood filler. Going to give it a try. Thank you so much for the idea.

My husband also suggests me to try wood paste.

[@RocktasticArts]

It does work really well 😊

[@rosanneburton5333]

Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Q: For the wood filler method, is that a kitchen sponge you're using to smooth the wood filler on the rock?

[@margdono]

THanks. Going to try the wood putty method. Is chalk paint being used as a base coat for color? Is chal paint better than regular white acrylic? Thank you!.

[@RocktasticArts]

Yvw… yes I use chalk paint as a base, I find it’s not as smooth as acrylic paint so it sticks better to the rock, and I also find that the acrylic paint sticks to the chalk paint better.
