My favorite way to seal dark colored chalk paint — Dixie Belle Howdy Do Hemp Oil. Do you wonder what’s the best way to seal …

I painted a chest a darker blue with chalk paint I used a water based satin clear coat after, it looks great on the sides and front, but the top has visible streaks and I used the DB top coat with blue sponge even added a little paint color to it and misted..I did quite a few coats on top sanding between hoping I could perfect it. Can I lightly sand the top only put another coat of paint on the top and use hemp oil, or will it not work with all the coats of clear underneath unless I sand to the original color on top.
What’s your suggestion I can send a pic if needed. Thanks Michele
Ive been using chalk paint on my birdhouses. Of course they fade out too fast been outside. Do you think using hemp oil over chalk paint on my birdhouses would help seal them to last longer outdoors! Or what kind of non toxic paint or sealer would be best for preserving and protecting them. I did a little research on mineral paints, what di you think about that?
Ok, so I decided to go out on a wim and paint my laminate cabinets with black chalk paint & they were gorgeous until I painted a clear polycrylic top coat and I can see brush marks & haziness in them. Thankfully I only done one set & so I went n got some hempseed oil to top the rest of cabinets. my question is, how can I fix the ones I’ve top coated with the polycrylic?

Does hemp seed oil go bad? I have a container from a few years ago I’d love to use, but will it be toxic to inhale?
Hi, I'd baby oil as good to use?

If I scuffed sanded my paint can apply this? Looks like what you have done. Also how do you remove this oil if I needed to?

Do you know how long it takes to cure on stained wood?
Can you put a transfer on AFTER you put the oil on or is it just to greasy?
