<p>[QUOTE="artsfarm, post: 264297, member: 3418"]You may have to wax it first before varnishing if using water based varnish. I've always used latex/acrylics with Varathane (water based) varnish on furniture. A few months ago, I thought I'd give chalk paint a try to see what makes it so popular. The first time, I thought I could use the Varathane as usual, but the chalk/plaster whatever is in the paint immediately sucked the moisture out of the varnish, resulting in a horribly puckered and rough surface. I was not happy. I ended up sanding it and waxing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
