Can I write on the paint before baking it? What will happen to the written chalk after I bake it?

No you cannot; until you bake it the paint is still wet and pliable. Bake, let it cool, then prime the surface with chalk by rubbing it all over. Then you can write!

Absolutely, I have used this product many times with chalk paint. It looks great. After applying your paint, I use a blow dryer to expedite the process

Yes. I have the one I bought stuck to the side of my fridge from top to bottom. Make sure to smooth all the air bubbles out as you roll it onto the surface you are sticking it on. I used liquid chalk and followed all the directions but I can still see the white and some of the brighter colors I used on it even though I treated the chalkboard paper first by coloring the entire thing in with the side of a regular piece of white chalk. Maybe the problem was with the liquid chalk and not the chalkboard paper. Good luck!

Yes, you can. I had good luck spraying chalk paint. You have to thin the paint. So far I haven't found anything I can't spray with it including primer and polycrylic.

Yes...I believe people bake items in oven to make this paint permanent. I am unsure of temp./time, but if no one answers with that info, try Googling. I know that I found that info accidentally when I Googled this set for more information/reviews prior to my purchase...I just don't recall the details!

We use on chalkboard painted menus. It wipes off fairly cleanly. Over time, a residue builds. If the surface is very shiny, you've got a good chance.

Hi, Thanks for your question. Many of our customers are using our markers on chalk paint with success, however we do not recommend doing so. The reason being is that chalk paint - and all painted surfaces - are porous. This means the surface has microscopic holes which will allow ink to seep into the pores. Once you try and wipe the ink off a chalk painted surface, you may find it leaves a faint mark. Generally this mark can be removed using Windex, an ammonia based cleaner, or a lot of people have had success with Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, which are designed for removing marks off walls without removing paintwork. Given the variability of different surfaces and different brands of chalk paint, we would not recommend using our product on such a surface in case you experience issues with its removal. Other porous surfaces which should be avoided for the same reason include wood, concrete, & tiles. Also if using on a chalkboard, please check to ensure it is a solid slated chalkboard. What you will find is that if the chalkboard has a soft wood backing (often pine or similar), then it is most likely painted with chalk paint which may cause the above issues. Manufacturers of chalk boards often do this in order to save cost, and as you will appreciate whilst we guarantee the performance of our markers, we cannot guarantee all chalkboard surfaces are safe given there are so many different brands and types. We trust this is of assistance. Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way

If you are airbrushing, you can paint directly on the cookie but it won't be all that pretty. I would suggest at least a thin coat of color flow or royal icing, let it dry then paint on the while smooth surface. The color would have a true and clean look. If you paint directly on the cookie, it will have a very distorted color and surface apprearance.

I used a chalk marker and it didn't come off so I had to repaint it. But regular chalk comes off fine

I have to say no. I painted a regular wall with chalk paint, let it cure for a few days and then used the SuperChalks to design a holiday theme. I just tried to wipe it off and I'm not having much luck. I might try the board cleaner or I just might have to repaint and use regular chalk. Love the Superchalks but perhaps the feedback is correct, don't use on porous surfaces.

I've done a lot of research on this and found the answer to be no. Liquid chalk is not really made for contact paper or chalkboard paint items. Sorry :( If you want a look like liquid chalk, just wet your chalk when you write :)

I decorated the mugs per instructions on Pinterest using special ceramic paint pens, then baked them as instructed. Baking did not damage them. However, the paint began washing off immediately and after two or three washes, were completely back to the original mugs -- no design left.

Yes, that worked best for me. The first time you write on it, it looks faint. Then as the paper gets chalk dust on it the chalk shows up fine.

chalk will not work on this board. you will need wet erase markers. But those work and clean up quite well.

Hi Denise, Thanks for your great question. We would not recommend applying any chalk marker to a chalk painted surface, the reason being that paint is porous by design. This means that the surface has microscopic holes and ink will seep into the holes. We would recommend applying Chalk This Way chalkboard paper to your surface if making a chalkboard as it works brilliantly with our chalk markers. Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way

Not as long as you are putting the chalk on the glass. But remember it washes off with water so it would have to be on the inside of the glass.

After the 30 min bake in I would use the paint in a few hours. Later that night of painting I check the mixing cup and it was allready skinned over 12 hours later. Also open hardners have a short shelf life. I wouldn't use an open container past a few months
