[@beneath.the.rosesluciddrea8470]

if you had a patreon, id donate a few bucks to it for this tutorial. this tutorial was perfect; no wasted time with a long intro, no excessive "umm", it provided options and reasons for choosing... i am so impressed and grateful. if only all tutorials were styled like this

True !

I’m a fluid artist. To get rid of little flakes and lumps, just pour your paint through a fine mesh colander into a fresh container before later use. I keep a small wire handled one with my supplies so it’s handy whenever I need it.

[@LiveSleepResin]

Can also use tights!!

[@amyentampa]

Awesome video. Last week I used all your instructions and painted my mother's desk. She has a small wood, solid desk that she wanted to keep but it was not in good condition. I made my chalk paint using your instructions and today she texted me saying she loves it more every day. Thank you so much! We spent less than $50 with new hardware for the drawers and everything. Now she has a beautiful desk with character and a story about how her daughter brought it back to life!

I use 2tbsp water, 2 tbsp unsanded grout, and 8 oz latex paint... ive done fabric, concrete stairs, doors,tables,headboars, wrought-iron, etc. ... been sealing with minwax light and dark depending on how distressed I want the pieces. I got that recipe years ago. Love the finish of the clear matte and great job... really well done!

[@MrDiyDork]

Thanks for the tip on the grout. I saw that mentioned when I was researching this. Glad to know that it works too!

[@emily-katecrnko1142]

You've done fabric?! Help! What do you think of this technique kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaioq2lpaMiqh7M ? Is this what you did? Did your fabric remain soft and did it still feel like fabric afterwards?

When I am painting from a container I put a piece of aluminum foil over the top, punch a hole in the middle and peel it back almost to the edge. This keeps the paint off of the rim.

that's a great idea!

Mix the sealer in with paint for a one step process

[@dianagoodson-fortner408]

This is an easy, step-by-step, tutorial. I like how you had the separate measuring cups of different sizes, good visual presentation. People will remember the recipe so easy. The finale was the icing on the cake...when you spoke about the small obstacles to watch out for when choosing a product to seal with and the ending when you explained a few complications you experienced while using the chalk paint that you mixed and why it happened and how to correct it from happening to those of us who will try these techniques ourselves. Wonderful Video!

Great recipe, thanks! You can also put a few marbles on the bottom of your paint vessel and it will make it easier to mix it up initially and through out your project paining.

[@andrebarnard3996]

Try adding the plaster of paris to water, not other way around. And use hot water. I use more water so I can shake the plaster of paris water mixture. Then you need to leave the container so the solids settle to the bottom of the water. Throw the excess water off and add your paint. Use a kitchen sieve and strain the final mixture through it...

[@robrjohnson]

Thanks for putting up this video. While my stepson was at work, I, my wife, and his wife did a quick job on an old coffee table that was sitting in his basement disassembled. When he came home from work, he thought we had bought him a new table for Christmas! Sanding and painting it only took a few hours and it was dry to the touch when he saw it. Awesome stuff. My wife and I had done chalkpaint on some of our furniture but we bought it from a boutique and it cost quite a bit of money. This was super cheap and looked just as nice. We also put it on an old oak colored florescent ceiling light housing and it gave it new life and made it match much better with his kitchen.

[@MrDiyDork]

Awesome! Glad you liked this.

[@carr60ick]

put a marble into the jar for mixing :)

[@MrDiyDork]

That's a great idea. Kinda like a spray can. Thanks.

[@whereismymind9429]

sifting the plaster through a flour sifting sieve helps too

[@Candace-1982]

aha_144 Ooh, so smart!

[@twylahcampbell2277]

aha_oui make sure the jar is plastic if adding a marble for mixing, as the weight and velocity of a marble while shaking it to mix will break a glass jar. :)

How about a smoothie mixer cup? You know, the large plastic cups with a lid that has a metal spring -like gizmo in it for mixing smoothie or shakes on the go?

[@michaelclement6977]

nice work...a few tips apply vaseline petro jelly over the area u plan to destress the piece corners edges... try shaking the glass jar with lid screwed on tight...shake every other time u load your brush...i prefer un-sanded white tile grout which only requires one coat, no pre-sanding, and excellent coverage...thanks

[@jesus.maryandjoseph8880]

I followed these directions, but used drywall compound. I then coated it with 3 coats of Polyurethane (added 10 % water so it didn't dry quite so fast, as you can end up with brush strokes). It was an old, dark brown, antique desk that was in poor condition. I did sand the piece with a small, hand sander briefly, as there were areas where the finish was flaking off, and I wanted good paint adhesion. As well, I wanted a smooth texture, which is something I wouldn't have gotten had I left it unsanded. It turned out fabulous and it is holding up very well to daily use by our 4 children who use the computer on this desk to in our homeschool. Thank you! You saved me time in priming and money over purchasing real chalk paint. :-)

[@greetingsrock2139]

II had the same problem with the diy chalk paint using plaster of paris...My solution was to put the water first, then then add the plaster of paris until it is the consistency of pudding. I also used a mini wisk to stir. Then add the paint. It worked like a charm and a lot less expensive. I also used the polycrylic

[@MrDiyDork]

Thank you for the mixing tip! Very helpful!

[@dalilanazahah7318]

I love how precise and detailed your explanation are. Thank you so much.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

The cheapest immersion blender for this, is the «whisk» you get at hardware stores, meant for your drill. You get them in different sizes (and prices, but in general, they are cheap). You wash them and reuse.

[@cherylroberts1407]

When I distress, I use the wet method. I let the chalk paint dry for maybe 20 minutes, then take a clean lint free rag , soak in water and wring out as much as possible, then start off lightly rubbing where you want to distress, and put as much pressure as you need to get the look you want, works great.

[@MrDiyDork]

That's what I saw some other people doing to their chalk painted pieces too. I haven't tried that on this plaster/paint combo yet though.

[@LaLaLand2.0]

Thank you for explaining the reason(ing) behind the acrylic/sealant choices! It absolutely makes a difference 👍🏻

[@MrDiyDork]

You're welcome!

[@sonyacreel6600]

I did like that part myself. I found his expertise on sealing the piece excellent

[@evarogers8775]

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find. I just spent 3 weeks building a crib mattress size farmhouse daybed for my dog. Needed a decent piece since it is in my livingroom. Today I applied a base coat of 1 part deep purple flat acrylic mixed with 2 parts water to create a thick stain or thin paint. Tomorrow I will use your method of paint and plaster of paris in a cream color like french vanilla. Then I'll do some distressing along the panel edges and other high-wear areas. I'm not positive yet on the sealing step but I'm leaning towards a liquid wax with a brown tint for some antiquing. Thanks for your excellent video. I am so ready for this!

[@myoldfarmhouse4316]

l figured it was Plaster of Paris in Paint...and the Price l've seen Quarts of Milk Paint sell for is ridiculous... $30 or more! That looks so awesome! l will never understand why some people freak out at the thought of painting wood? Sometimes it truly increases the value of Piece and painting furniture is an Art unto itself!

[@howImetyourfather]

This is really nice too because you can have a color you want, not just what's offered in pre-mixed chalk paint.

[@mimih8922]

You can use spackling instead of paster of Paris. It's already a wet consistency so no need to add water. Just a tip 🙂

[@magentaangel5531]

I have just tried this and am waiting for the second coat to dry. It has gone on beautifully, I kept spraying the brush with water and I have a lovely result. Thank you for sharing this, it will save so much money rather than spend a fortune on chalk paint. I am also going to order, off Amazon, calcium carbonate as this is what they use in chalk paint. Once again thank you, I am so happy....

[@MimiDidi121]

Is Menards a regional home improvement store? I bought a huge box of chalk dust online! It's come in handy several times other than making chalk paint. For example, it makes an excellent rubbing compound! I had someone back into me last week. My red SUV had white streaks all over my door. I buffed all over them out but 2 small places that took the paint off. First I used WD40 and a sponge, the chalk dust paste and a buffer attachment on my girly cordless drill. It was amazing! Then once I accidentally poured scentsy melted wax on my leather shoe. I stuck it into that chalk dust the second I peeled the wax off. It absorbed almost all the oil out of my shoe! I still have most of the box after making 2 quarts of paint and doing the projects above. Best $15 I've spent. I'd say I can make at least 8 more quarts!

With polycrylic, you HAVE to fine Fine Fine grit sand it ... at least with the gloss. I use it, live by it, but you have to finely sand it with 400 + grit sanding which will look like diamonds when done. love watching your diy dork vids. I love this stuff. and this is a beautiful color for that awesome table! good job!

[@MrDiyDork]

Thanks. Yes, sanding with a fine grit paper really helps smooth it out. On this table, I kind of liked the brush strokes and slight cloudy/milky look of the polycrylic, so I didn't sand it. But on my newest project (3D painted coffee table makeover video) I sanded the polycrylic with some wet 400 grit before applying the final coat. It came out nice and smooth!
