The finishing touches
Adhesion
Chalk Mineral Paint is porous, so it absorbs into your surface. Where as Latex paint sits on top of the surface.
You can use chalk paint on any surface. It adheres to almost anything, and I've painted laminate, particle board, solid wood, leather, old and new furniture alike

How do you paint with Dixie Belle Paint?
Dixie Belle Paint is very thick so a little goes a long way. The longer the lid stays off the thicker it will get. If you like a thinner look just add a little water and stir. Clean the item you want to paint with Dixie Belle White Lightening, take a damp brush, (you can use a chip brush, special brushes designed for chalk painting or whatever brush you like to work with ) and paint a very thin coat. It will dry very quickly. Some items will need a second coat so after about 30 minutes add another coat.
Does Dixie Belle Paint have to be sealed?
No, once Dixie Belle Paint has cured, after 30 days, it is durable just the way it is. You can paint and be done with it if you like the look.
Is there a trick to putting on Clear Coat?
It is important to use a damp paint brush, and apply a very thin coat. Do not work your brush back and forth, just one stroke. After about an hour it should be dry and then you can apply a second coat to make it even.

What is Silk All-in-One Mineral Paint?
Silk All-in-One Mineral Paint is an acrylic based mineral paint. It has a built-in primer and topcoat. Silk dries in a eggshell finish and is a self-leveling paint. It is best to not overwork the silk paint with your brush, instead use long strokes and allow the paint to settle. It is NOT recommended to mist silk paint with water as it is an acrylic based paint.
Silk is meant to create a more clean and crisp look and not distressed.
For extra protection you can add Dixie Belle's Satin Clear Coat or Gatorhide for high traffic pieces..
