I did a really thin third coat just to be safe, but I don’t really think it was needed..The can says to wait 4 hours between coats, but honestly, in all of my chalkboarding experience, I’ve never waited more than 20 minutes and they’ve always turned out perfectly.
It really was a quick and painless project.I added in some simple ceramic knobs to finish if off..I let it dry for a few hours, then I came back to it.
Before you can start drawing on your chalkboard, you need to “season” it.This basically means that you rub chalk all over it and then you smear it around with a rag really quickly.
At the bottom you can see where I had rubbed the chalk on, and that the top you can see how it looks after it’s been smeared.
Even with a giant chalkboard like this, it’s only a 5 minute job..I’m definitely inspired to eat a little more chocolate now.Lovely weather we’re having here lately, isn’t it?
Almost everyone is getting a little taste of Winter right now.Whether you live in the Great White North, or you rarely see snow, it can be a real nuisance to wake up to an iced-over car in the morning.
Here in Canada, we should know better and always be prepared for these things, but we still find ourselves with icy windshields and cars that need cleaning off at least a few times every year.. With a little bit of knowledge though, and some clever tricks, you can save yourself the pain of having to tackle the time consuming task of de-icing and de-snowing your car in the cold.. First of all, I have to tell you that I took these photos during the middle of a raging storm, with snow blowing off the fields and literally zero visibility.I wanted to take a few pics to set the mood, but I couldn’t exactly see what I was shooting, so I just stuck my camera out and snapped!
