I've tried different amounts of plaster of paris, different temperature water etc. It either turns into a big clump of goo, or runny gritty awfulness... it never paints well, or sticks to anything.

...wow.wow.wow!!! I love this paint AND the dresser!<br /><br />I have a dresser that I've been going to paint for a couple weeks I've been putting off. I wanted to do the chalk paint but the price...and shipping...has turned me off. I am definitely saving this post for reference when I do paint it!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />JessicaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906062491984681224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325770465476451177.post-15599408419143564202011-12-01T20:59:33.683-05:002011-12-01T20:59:33.683-05:00Love the grey, fantastic makeover.
