First wash the wall that you're going to paint. Once dry, use a spirit level and masking tape to mark out the space. Using a brush, apply three to four fine layers of blackboard paint onto the wall, allowing each coat to dry for at least four hours. After the last coat, leave for 24 hours before use.
