![]() If you have a chalk painted table and it is going to get a lot of use and have glasses of water on it, you may just want to stick with wax and here is why. It will not stick, you would have to remove the wax first. Hi Tabitha – When using wax over chalk paint, you cannot add poly over it. Best part? Deciding to make a quick change to a finished item 6 months later is just a recoat of paint opposed to a sanding/stripping/cleaning then priming and painting again. She created a line of easy to use products that turn transformations into fun and less work. Add mica powders to a water based glaze with a touch of the original colour and the finish be comes a galaxial beauty with almost no effort. No add to the mix that water based paints allow for washes, fancy finishes, water-based glaze mixed with a second colour can create amazing finishes. Using latex (and I have done so many a time) would have become a multi-day, more difficult procedure. I can on a sunny warm day paint an entire dresser, faux finish it and wax/seal the 2nd coat in under 3 hours. It will take days to deeply dry, required one or more primer coats for the colour coat to sit well and sanding between coats…all of which are not required (but optional) by Annie Sloan’s products. ![]() If you are only slapping on a one coat, lazy redo of a chair or dresser then sure any old latex will do. Not possible with latex based paints as latex paints separate by nature leaving their chemical compounds in layers as the paint settles over time. Larger batches only require light mixing for consistent results. The main benefits is that colours blend incredibly well with no mix procedure outside of dipping a brush into two different (or more) colours. Completely non-toxic, no glues, formaldehydes, fixatives or rubber/latex is used in the formula. ![]() The Annie Sloan brands commands a higher price as it is more like the tempura paints we finger painted with as children. It does not matter whether there is a chalky additive used (calcium carbonate or other). This was a misleading blog to compare Annie Sloan’s water based paints against latex based paints. These are the only ways I know to distress and age furniture. Rub the areas where you added Vaseline and the paint will come off. You add some Vaseline to the areas on a piece of furniture where you want the wood to show through. You can also use Vaseline to age and distress. This allows you to better spread the dark or white wax evenly over the surface or into the nooks and crannies. Before using dark or white wax, you want to use clear first. If you want a lighter look, use can use white wax over the clear wax. Use the brush to push it in the areas you want and then buff. Add a very light coat of clear wax and buff it in, then add a layer of dark wax. Distress the areas you want with 100 grit sandpaper to remove some of the paint and expose the wood underneath the paint. Do you have an idea of what color and the look you want for your piece? The most popular way to create aged and distressed furniture is to paint the piece, let dry. Hi Clark – When distressing furniture you can use only one color, unless you want to create a piece with some patina. ![]() The Best DIY Chalk Paint Recipe For Painting Furniture.Chalk Paint Furniture Before & After Makeovers.Tips That Will Make Paint Clean Up… Easy!.
