Rust Oleum Specialty Chalkboard Brush Paint - 32 oz

Rust-Oleum Specialty Chalkboard is an ultra-hard, scratch resistant finish that allows you to create a unique writable-erasable surface. Ideal for use on doors, tables, cabinets, picture frames, flower pots and more. Can be applied to wood, metal, glass, terra cotta, paperboard and hardboard. It's also great for resurfacing ping pong tables.

Product Application

Use when temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper drying.

Surface Preparation

Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial detergent or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces.

Priming

Use of a Rust-Oleum latex primer provides superior adhesion and hiding and is especially recommended for bare wood and metal, paperboard and hardboard. Apply Chalkboard paint 2 hr after applying primer. After priming bare wood, sand lightly to smooth out the surface.

Application

Stir thoroughly. Thinning is not required. In hot, dry conditions, however, you may thin up to 2-oz. water per quart to extend dry time. Use a good quality synthetic brush, 1/4"-3/8" nap roller or a foam roller designed to give a smooth finish. Avoid excessive brushing or rolling. Use light, even strokes to ensure an even flow and the smoothest finish.

Dry & Recoat

Dry and recoat times are based on 77°F (25°C) - 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to the touch in 30 minutes and to handle in 2 hr. Fully dry in 2-4 hr. May be recoated after 4 hr.

Conditioning and Use

After 3 days, the chalkboard finish is ready to use. Before writing, condition the surface by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over the entire surface and erase. This will leave a coat of chalk dust that will provide the best erasability. Chalkboard can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Wait 7 days after painting before wiping it down. Repeat conditioning step after cleaning.

Clean-up

Clean brush and other application tools immediately with soap and water.
