Chalk-Finish Paint Recipe

Mixing water into chalk-finish paint
Mix your own chalk-finish paint using the following supplies:
  • Valspar flat latex paint
  • Plastic paint buckets (#40008)
  • Plaster of Paris (#41323)
  • Stir sticks
  • Plastic measuring cups (do not reuse for food)
  • Water (cool, not warm)
  • Paste wax (#45898)
Mix 1/3 cup of plaster of Paris and 1/3 cup of cool water; stir until completely smooth. Mix that with 1 cup of latex paint and stir thoroughly. This will make enough chalk-finish paint for one coat on a six-drawer dresser. Chalk-finish paint should not be stored and reused. If you have a smaller project, mix smaller amounts of plaster, paint, and water in the same proportions.
