How To Use –

Always do a test patch to see if this product is right for your project.

Clean substrate well, sand any flaking paint off, lightly scuff sand shiny surfaces to promote adhesion.

Apply a coat with a brush, spray or roller. If spraying, thin with water as necessary. Our Chalk Finish paint can be thinned up to 15% when spraying or more when using as a wash.

In some cases, you may find some substrates may have tannin bleed-through. Should this happen, you can use our Base & Blocker to prevent further staining!

Allow your first coat to dry thoroughly before applying your next coat.

Due to the clay components in Chalk Finish, colours will appear lighter when dried. Don’t worry! Once sealed, the colour will return!

Clay components also means Chalk Finish can be wet distressed!

You can also wet sand using our Liquid Wax or Hemp Finishing Oil with Wet & Dry Sanding Pads to finish as a sealer!

For a smooth finish, use a smooth flat brush in long smooth strokes and a water mister, you can sand lightly in between coats for a super smooth finish. Another technique for a smooth finish is the feathering technique. Easiest with a minimal amount of paint on a round or oval brush with a light, delicate hand.

For a textured rustic look, use criss cross or brush strokes or a pouncing action with a round or oval brush to give your piece added interest. Any of our products in our Decorative Range can also be used!

Seal with either our Beeswax Polishes, Liquid Wax, Hemp Finishing Oil or any of our Sealers.
