I used this product on an existing children's easel board. The chalk board that came with it didn't work very well, so I wanted a better writing surface. I ended up using Martha's magnetic paint as well (under this chalk board paint). While it does provide a very good writing surface, it leaves a big residue of chalk when erased. I'm not sure if this is typical of all chalk board paint, but it is a little annoying. You must use a damp cloth to wipe it down each day or it looks a little messy. It's not a bad product, as it writes really well. Just be aware that you will need a damp cloth to remove the erased chalk residue.This was my first use of chalkboard paint and it was definitely a learning experience!The consistency is slightly different from standard "2oz" acrylic paints - a bit more grainy maybe? The smell is also a bit ... noxious; I had windows open and opened more but apparently the ventilation was not quite good enough to prevent me from getting a "paint headache"... my fault though not the product.Depending on the surface you are applying this too you may need to do more than one coat of paint - additionally I recommend ample drying time between coats and using any fixative finishes to achieve the best appearance.I had bought a used chalkboard for my wedding. We couldn't get the previous chalk to erase at all. Used this paint to paint over the previous writing and it was perfect. We were able to put on our own message and you would have never known we had painted it.This does not dry to a full matte finish. It dries with a bit of gloss to a satin finish. Because of this it is not a true chalkboard paint, but it worked well for my purposes!The paint cracks. But I like the color and it dries fast.Recently I started creating items with chalkboard paint and this product works well. Although I prefer the spray paint, this paint is good too.I painted our glass jug and it worked like it was supposed to. DO NOT RUN IN DISH WASHER it will get on everything.This is awesome! It dries fast, has full coverage of the space and worked great on glass. Others I have used in the past were streaky and took several coats to look good, I love that this saved me time and looks great!Love it and can't stop using it!great productLearn from my mistakes and don't try to apply this wish a paint brush or a foam roller, I had to peel off my first attempt and purchase another bottle. Used a fluffy foam roller on my second attempt, three coats later it looked gorgeous. It peels very easily however, I accidentally nicked it in a few spots with just my fingernails.buenas la pintura no esta mal del todo el color es un gris medio ni muy oscuro ni muy claro pero no vale para tiza liquida si escribes con tiza liquida no se borra despues no se quita del todo yo tube que pintar con otra pintura al finalShipped on time. Was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked! After 2 coats and a day of drying, chalk goes on well and actually wipes off really well too which I didn't expect!El color corresponde a un azul cielo clarito. A pesar de ser un color claro es muy cubriente. Con dos capas me quedo perfecto sobre una capa de madera oscura.
