As I mentioned in my post, The Best Type of Paint for Furniture, there is a learning curve to waxing and it can be very time-consuming 😎 Also, you might have a layer of dark or white wax for decorative purposes after your layer of clear wax dries 🤓 When using chalk paint, the time you aren’t spending on sanding and priming will be spent on waxing your piece. A thin layer of wax can take up to a month to dry before the piece is safe enough for sale or use. If you work in high humidity, your favorite clear coat should dry within two hours. [1]
They should, in most cases. Many paint companies will tell you “No top coat needed”! And,.. While thats often true, it’s not completely true. For durability purposes, top coats can be used. chalk paints Durability is usually covered. Why then would you apply a topcoat? Here is the place SEALING steps in.

Artsychicksrule.com Provides additional information. No, there is no prep and primer. primer is typically needed with chalk paint. But you really can’t say that across the board.There are just going to be those times when a primer is necessary for any type of paint.It’s not magic.One of those times and one that comes up often around here is when you are painting a reddish type of wood/stain.That absolutely takes “prep” in the form of applying some sort of primer/sealer to seal in that red so it had won’t bleed into your paintYou may also encounter other instances when the substance has seeped into your system. wood continues to rise to the surface through the chalk paintIt also would need some sort of primer to seal It should be raised.
