Which Paint Should I Use? | Chalk Paint vs Latex Paint | Chalk Paint vs Acrylic Paint

[@Morna777]

I dunno what kind of acrylics she's used but I've ingested artist acrylic (by accident) and nothing happened. I wonder if she's using some weird hybrid. I also don't know what kind of chalk paint she's using but the kind I have used (rustoleum chalked) will come off with a fingernail unless you top coat it.

I was about to say. I use acrylic paint for my art - dunno what she’s talking about. I think she’s just promoting chalk paint.

This was a real eye opener. Thanks so much. However, as an acrylic painter, my paint can be cleaned with soap and water. Is acrylic furniture paint different?

[@revive-up-cycledheartup-cy381]

I’m so glad! It was eye opening for me too. And yes acrylic based chalk paint has way more chemicals in it than just straight up acrylic paints

Did not really understand what else is chaulk paint made of besides talc, plaster , etc.

[@revive-up-cycledheartup-cy381]

It depends on the brand. Some brands use acrylic or latex paint and then add chalk. This is generally not good. Other brands like the ones I use, are made from a combo of water, pigments, chalk and some other secret ingredients based on the patent to create the paint.

This was scientifically informative, and I appreciated the info. I think your introductory singing should have been avoided, sorry! I will watch some of your other videos, thanks!

Ha! Ya we don’t have the best voices but thought it was funny lol. Just a one off snd hope the rest of helpful for you!

@@revive-up-cycledheartup-cy381 Well, you were cute as punch, it was just too long, IMO! Your voices were fine and it was funny! Considering the amt of prep and research you conducted and shared, I am now chagrined by my comment.....You deserved to have some fun! I am grateful for the excellent info regarding manufacturing of the paints, raw ingredients, performance, etc. Quite surprised this has only 19 likes and one of them was mine!

@@reginaschellhaas1395 thank you again. Ya it was a lot of info to cover and I’m trying to make them shorter but this one was important. Glad it helped ❤️

@@revive-up-cycledheartup-cy381 No, no, just the singing was a bit long...sorry. I was absolutely pleased by the length of your informative video. So often, information is only delivered in very short "bites". As an older person, I am accustomed to reading/listening/watching for longer times, from my earlier years. This was VERY important and I watched it all and Saved It, for a refresher. Best wishes to you, my dear!

I had to skip the singing, ultimate cringe. It hurt.

Totally wrong unfortunately.. All pigmented water based paints are either latex or emulsions (meaning solids or oil dispersed in water). Regardless of that, paints labeled as "Latex" are for interior use, and Acrylics are for exterior use. There is no particular reason for this. It's just something that has stuck. Chalk paints can be either Latex or Acrylic. Chalk is added to the paint making it easy to sand.

[@revive-up-cycledheartup-cy381]

Now amy Howard’s one step paint. There is no acrylic or latex in it at all.

[@kaba_me]

@@revive-up-cycledheartup-cy381 Amy Howard’s one step paint is actually interior paint (latex) with chalk.
