Yes, it is. Actually, Calcium Carbonate is chalk so it makes the best homemade chalk paint. Here is a recipe: 2 tablespoons of Clacium Carbonate Powder1 tablespoons waterMix well into one cup of latex paint.Use 8 tablespoons of Calcium Cabonate Powder and 4 tablespoons of water if you want to mix it with one quart of latex paint.Good luck!

Not sure. It is a shiney metal surface. Will your chalkboard paint stick to metal?

Yes, as was answered by previous responders. It's also great for making signs using the Rockler sign making kit.

liquid chalk will work good. I had regular chalk and it didnt write on it hardly at all, kinda dissapointing.

Is probably not practical for paint....unless you were mixing mass quantities. Putting this in a full container of paint would probably be a mess... but I wouldn't do a mortar job without it

No. It's a smooth surface similar to a whiteboard. The markers that should be used with it are called "liquid chalk" markers.

No it is not. And it will fade & rust too. We use a screw on ice-cream box for chalk.

I have used Annie Sloan Chalk paint and my own version of DIY chalk paint (with plaster of paris) with perfect results. I use a mesh strainer every time I use this machine to make sure there are no particles that can clog the nozzle. I would not use the unsanded grout version in this machine. I have also used Rustoleum chalkboard paint with superior results--perfect finish.

They're too small to use regular chalk. I used a silver metallic pen but can't reuse them. You'll definitely need a fine point pen.

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.

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

Yes you can, however, chalk is larger thus the letters become distorted. I have sharpened my colored chalk into a point but when you write a few letters you must keep sharpening. I just use paper to bring the chalk to a point. It comes with its own chalk writing implements and they work very well but it comes only in white.

We used this for a Valentine box for my daughter, but I would say yes you could use it outside to keep chalk. There are no obvious gaps that make me think it would leak.

I believe so. For these markers your going to need to do multiple layers to get a real saturated affect and once it's done chances are you're only going to be able to remove 90% of the chalk. It seems even soap and water doesn't get it all off. &#128542;

I don't know whether they would work. I suspect they would, but these are meant for fine art. You can probably find much cheaper pastel colored chalks in a store that sells crayons and other art materials for kids. Wal-Mart or Target for example.

Yes, that is all I use it for is my chalk painted furniture. I use it on any piece I paint black, or if I want to get an antique look on a creamy color. It also makes red look very deep and rich. I just love this dark wax so easy to work with.
