FAQ

  • Is chalkboard paint good for walls?

    Chalkboard paint can be applied to walls and looks great while being functional. However, chalk dust tends to migrate from the wall to your floors or other nearby furniture, so you'll want to keep this in mind.

  • How do you seal a chalkboard wall?

    Before you seal a chalkboard wall, decide what type of chalk you are going to use on it (i.e. chalk markers or regular chalk). If you just plan to use regular chalk, you can leave your chalkboard wall unsealed. If you decide to opt for chalk markers, seal your chalkboard wall with an acrylic finish to make erasing a breeze.

  • Do you have to season a chalkboard wall?

    Yes, it is recommended to season a chalkboard wall. Otherwise, your chalkboard wall would always have a faded image of whatever you first decided to draw or write. To season a chalkboard wall, simply cover the entire surface with chalk and then wipe it clean.
