I am glad that I came across your channel. Would you pls answer my query? What if we use little birdie chalk paints on MDF and then seal it with varnish? Will they lose their shine over a period of 4-5 months?

[@diywithsanya2806]

Hey Ankita! Chalk paint would do very well for sure on MDF surfaces plus it is eco-friendly. It will remain intact if you use a good quality varnish. ☺️

[@ankitaagarwal1018]

[@amulchocoly9349]

Beautiful !!! can you share the thickness of the mdf board used.

Kya me black acrylic colour use kar sakti hun gesso ke badle aur wo sukhne bad phir paint karne se wo black paint mix to nahi hoga na dusre colour se ???

[@diywithsanya2806]

Black se I think problem hogi. Try white instead. 🙂

[@konjetiswathi6399]

Thnq so much Sanya for sharing the product links...is the sharpie marker u used is it permanent..I mean is it water proof?how long did u leave the board before varnish

[@diywithsanya2806]

Yes, the marker is permanent, waterproof and oil based. Before varnishing you can leave the board for an hour or so just make sure the paint is completely dried out.

[@konjetiswathi6399]

Hey. 🙋‍♀️Iam on Instagram instagram.com/craftkathabyswathi..do chek my feed

[@prachi1611]

The oil based paint markers is very expensive for a beginner. Could you please suggest some economical alternative? Thankyou

Hi it's awesome blue is acrylic paint?

[@diywithsanya2806]

Hey there! Thank you! This is turquoise acrylic paint, link is mentioned in the description:)

[@divyabharathis4575]

My white paint always gets oxidised in the blue paint and it become into light blue clr when write or paint over blue paint but yours stayed the same ???

[@diywithsanya2806]

I let the white paint dry up completely and then put the other color over it. So next time when you try maybe just do a sample test on a smaller area and see the results. Also, if you try artist acrylic paints this problem wouldn’t be faced. I hope this helped!

[@divyabharathis4575]

Actually the thing I asked is you've wrote those words over the blue paint and it stayed white😅

[@diywithsanya2806]

Ah okay. Yeah it is the same for the lettering as well. What colors are you using?

[@divyabharathis4575]

@@diywithsanya2806 I used a mixture ultramarine blue, sap green,white and dark green and got a teal turquoise like something and I wrote a quote over it using white paint and when it gets dry it become something like light blue. And the paint I use is fevicryl.

[@diywithsanya2806]

Maybe try camel artists acrylic colors for lettering part

[@ShanikumarSah-km2tm]

How long does effect of pen remain on wood ??if you reply it would be helpful 🙏

[@diywithsanya2806]

Hey there! stays as long as the acrylic paint, but make sure to varnish it to give it extra protection:)

[@shampasham1]

What is the spray that u have used before colouring

[@diywithsanya2806]

Hey there, I tried using water spray. Although it is not necessary depending upon how viscous your color is :)

[@soumyadeepanchal170]

Kya white acrylic colour gesso ka kaam kr skta h. ?

[@diywithsanya2806]

Yes!

[@sh7311]

Do we need to prime the mdf board with primer before painting?

[@diywithsanya2806]

Hey there! I don’t use primer on Craftslane products since it gives me great results without it due to smooth finish. However, for other brands/local shop mdf boards, I prefer using a primer as the wood is generally not very well finished and absorbs lots of paint. :)

[@sh7311]

@@diywithsanya2806 thank you so much

[@vandanaprasad9216]

Which primer to use ?

[@si_a_to2086]

Are those waterproof flowers?

[@diywithsanya2806]

No. Even the mdf board is not supposed to be exposed to water.

[@Wellness_Coach_Neha]

What did u spray before white

[@diywithsanya2806]

I just tried to mist a little with water to experiment a little bit. But it works well without water as well since the consistency of acrylic paint is good enough. :)

[@callofdutymobile6487]

ohh my god

Even after using varnish, the color fades after some time why so?? like msf key chain regular basis pr use krte h toh colour fade ho jata aap bta skte aisa kyun hota or kya krna chahiye taki colour fade ni ho

[@diywithsanya2806]

Depends upon the quality of varnish. Try another varnish 🙂
