Stir well with a broad flat paddle using an up and down scooping action. Apply two coats of Dulux Chalkboard using a good quality brush to cut in and a short nap roller in good condition for rolling. Allow a minimum of 2 hours dry time between coats. Allow the final coat to dry and cure for at least 7 days before conditioning the chalkboard.
To condition the board, rub the entire surface of the chalkboard vertically with the side of a piece of chalk, ensuring the chalkboard is completely covered. Then rub the entire surface horizontally with the side of a piece of chalk, again covering the chalkboard completely. Wipe with a soft cloth or chalkboard duster and blow off any excess chalk dust. The chalkboard is now ready to use.
