I used 2 coats of Dixie Belle Clear Coat Gloss with a sponge. I wanted to protect the design and wanted to match the original finish on the box so I didn't have to redo the rest of the box. I washed the stencil and scraper off right away with warm water so I can use it again. So after pulling it off I let it dry overnight just to be safe. I found that on an angle worked best for this one. I pulled back the stencil very slowly being careful not to stretch it out of shape. I have enough to do a hundred more in one jar. It takes so little paste it's hard to believe.
Then using the scraper I just scraped up the excess chalk paste and scraped it back in the jar. The details you can get with these silk screen stencils are awesome. Then I just dragged the chalk paste over the stencil with the spreader and made sure I got the entire stencil so that no detail was missed. Then with the silicone spreader I lined up some chalk paste on the left side of the stencil so I could drag it over (flood it) the silk screen. Next I used painters tape around the edge to protect the surface from the chalk paste and any accidental spill over. Our Prima silk screen stencils are sticky on the back to help prevent leaks but can be used again and again if washed right away. Next I laid out the stencil in the right place on my box. Baby wipes are very gentle and worked perfectly. I didn't want to sand it at all because it was in good shape and I liked the glossy finish.
So after picking out my silk screen stencil I pulled out the old box and gave it a super good clean with baby wipes. The jewelry box I was interested in fixing up was glossy black and simple so I went with Chalky White but there are so many colors to choose from. You just need a jar of chalk paste in the color of your choice, a silk screen stencil and some silicone spreaders. So hope you enjoy and give this a try soon. Results were so good with this project I can't wait to use it on my next furniture piece! Not only to speed up the work but because it works like a charm, with super crisp lines and detail. This was so easy and so fast that it is taking me way longer to write up this blog than to use the chalk paste. I have used many different stencil techniques going way back to using oil paints but now after using this, never again. Being totally new to chalk paste I thought I would give it a try. In nutshell, this technique involves adding water to the tiniest amount of chalk paste, spreading it on a plastic bag, flipping the bag over onto your surface to transfer the watercolor onto it, then spreading the watercolor across the surface with your fingers to make your watercolor background.
