  2. Once you have a nice smooth consistency add your paint and give it a good mix.
  3. To condition the chalkboard and make it easier to write on, take a piece of chalk and rub it lightly all over the board. Then take a damp rag and wipe it gently off.

NOTE: Depending on the surface you’re painting you’ll need 1-3 light coats.
