  1. Really? I’ve just started and I was using rags. I have no idea and need to watch more video and tips from you guys.

    I have applied one coat of Navajo White over 2 coats of Zinsser Bull’s Eye white primer on a medium/dark dining room chair but can still some darkness showing through. I am not usually DIYer so don’t really know what to expect. I will do a second coat of the chalk paint but should I use it as thick as I did for the first coat or should I thin it with water…and if so, how much water? I did not stir it or anything ….pored some into a plastic containers….was that correct? I also have brush strokes so do not know if I am using too little or too much paint. How do I know when too much is too much? I am using the round bristle brush. Should I try one of those disposable sponge brushes?….would that make any difference? I could not find these kind of “novice” issues on your tutorials. Thank you!
