It’s a thick paste about the consistency of yogurt or sour cream which makes it great for adhesive reusable stencils.

What Surfaces Is Chalk Paste safe on?
Chalkology™ Paste is safe to use and remove from most non-porous surfaces, such as chalkboards, wood, glass, paper, mirror, kitchenware, and metal. The paste can also be used on porous surfaces such as unfinished wood or paper, but only as a permanent design. We recommend testing an inconspicuous spot prior to applying Chalkology™ Paste to any surface. Paste colors can interact with certain surfaces and finishes and cause color staining, or “color echo,” after a design is removed.

Will Any Of The Colors Stain My Surfaces?
I recommend testing any surface before you apply the paste. Darker paste colors have higher amounts of pigment (ie. black and red), and are more likely to stain porous surfaces. Chalk Couture Board Erasers, disinfecting wipes, and soap with water help remove the paste; however, a “color echo” may remain. A “color echo” may be more pronounced the longer it has been on a surface or exposed to light. If you do get a “color echo” try using a board eraser to remove the echo.
Can You Use Chalk Couture Paste On Fabric?
Yes & No. The Chalk Couture paste can be used on fabrics. However, it will wash off once it is wet. You will need to use Chalk Couture ink to create a permanent design. Learn more about when to use chalkology paste vs ink.
