Hi Meari! It has been a while. 🙂

I actually put Plaster of Paris in the white (when I used my homeright finish max) and the black. I do so because the original finish of the table and the new laminate top was shiny and slick. The plaster of Paris makes the paint a very flat finish allowing it to stick to most surfaces.

Hi Gail! It’s been a while since I commented. I’m curious to know why you put plaster of paris in the paint for the top?

Thank you Rachel. I’ve been wanting to do that technique for a long, long time. I recently got some black wax, so I’ll be trying other fun glazing stuff in the near future.

I appreciate you stopping by, and taking the time to leave a comment.

Great find and it has new life now! I like the glazed look on it because it brings out the details.
