Each jar contains 2 cups of Chalk-Tique powder additive, enough to mix with 2 quarts of any paint to make chalk-style paint. Use the included 1/4 cup scoop to mix just what you need. Why buy expensive chalk-style paint when you can make your own! You can use Chalk-Tique powder additive and turn your ordinary leftover paint into chalk-style paint that's easy to use and can adhere to almost any surface. Once mixed with water and then added to your paint, Chalk-Tique powder additive turns any latex, acrylic, or water based paint into a durable chalk-style paint. Use Chalk-Tique paint mixture on finished or unfinished (bare) wood, glass, ceramic, laminate, and metal. This additive gives any water base paint a durable matte finish that can be easily distressed and waxed to create a beautiful patina and antique look.
