Mixing Websters in Paint~any brand, any color

Lets start the the very basics.

Though Websters can certainly be mixed in large quantities for painting walls, for example, we usually just mix as much as we need. There is no waste from having too much chalk paint left unused sitting on the shelf. So, here we go!

1. Websters comes like this:
2. Mixing is easy! 2 Tbs Websters + 1 Tbs water and shake it up! Anyone who knows me, knows I am a jar hoarder. I can't bear to throw away a perfectly recyclable jar! Thanks, Wylers Beef Stock, for a perfect jar :D



3. Shake, shake, shake......shake, shake, shake....shake your Websters, shake your Websters....la, la, la


4. Add to 1 cup of your favorite paint. In this example, I am using a 1 cup sample size of Behr, from Home Depot, for $2.94! Saving!
5. And repeat.....shake, shake, shake.....shake, shake, shake......
6. And you are all set to paint! Look, no grit, no lumps, and no nasty chemicals added!

It's so easy!

  2. Hi Kim! We have not noticed any affect on the paint from the humidity here in Georgia. It seems to dry in about 30 minutes. Heathers hair is another story. Thanks for asking!
