How many coats did you need?** A: It does work but is very weak even after 3 coasts with Neodymium magnets **Q: How long does it take to cure...and so how long do I have to wait before writing on it with chalk** A: Hi Most paint coatings have a curing time of 7-10 days, this product is no different. Please allow 7 days for dry paint film to achieve its full cure time before using chalk on the finish. CT Paints **Q: Would this paint work on matt melamine? or would i need to use primer in the first instance?** A: Hiya, I have used it on plastic soffit board, I did use a magnetic primer first as l understood it would work, with ordinary blackboard paint but it didn’t work, so then l bought this and used 2-3 coats on top of the magnetic primer and got good results. This is not supposed to be necessary but it’s more belt and braces! Prob 3-4 coats of this would do just as well,, but can’t guarantee, hope this helps! L **Q: can this be used on bare plaster?** A: For any bare plaster you want to mix some emulsion paint with water 50/50 and give it two layers of watery paint before you paint this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Johnstone's Speciality Magnetic Blackboard Paint - Black 750ml - CRAYOLA Anti-Dust Coloured Chalk - Assorted Colours (Pack of 12) | Smooth Texture Makes Writing & Drawing on Blackboards Easy! - CRAYOLA Anti-Dust White Chalk 12 Count (Pack of 1) | Smooth Texture Makes Writing & Drawing on Blackboards Easy!
