ITEMS

• (2) Wood Sawhorses

• Large Piece of Plywood (For the Tabletop)

• Varathane 3X Wood Stain

• Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane

• Chalkboard Brush-On

• Sandpaper (#120, #150, & #180 Grits)

• Tack Cloth

• Drop Cloth

• Drill & Screws (Optional)

• Stir Sticks

• Lint-Free Cloth

• Synthetic Bristle Paint Brush

1.PREPARE: Always work in a well-ventilated area and use a drop cloth to protect from drips, spills, and splatter. Sand

each sawhorse thoroughly, working your way up through #120, #150, and #180 grit sandpaper. Wipe away the sanding

dust with a tack cloth after nishing with each grit.

2.STAIN: Stir or shake your Varathane 3X Wood Stain thoroughly. Working in manageable sections, use a lint-free

cloth or brush to apply a generous amount of stain onto the rst sawhorse. Let the stain sit on the surface for a few

minutes, and then wipe away the excess with a clean cloth in the direction of the wood grain. Repeat this step on the

second sawhorse, then set them aside to dry for at least one hour.

3.POLYURETHANE: Once the sawhorses are dry, stir (do not shake) your can of Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane.

Use a brush to apply an even coat of poly to both sawhorses. Be sure to apply the polyurethane in the direction of the

wood grain and in one thick, uniform coat. Set the sawhorses aside to dry completely for 48 hours.

4.PAINT: Stir the Chalkboard Brush-On paint thoroughly with a stir stick. Then, use a foam roller to apply the paint to

the plywood. Avoid excessive rolling and use light, even strokes for an even and smooth nish. Wait 2-4 hours, and then

apply a second coat. Repeat once more, so you have three solid coats of paint on the table.

Tip: Prop the tabletop up on two buckets to make it easier to paint.

5.CONDITION: Let the chalkboard paint cure completely for three days. Then, rub the side of a piece of chalk over the

entire surface and erase with a chalkboard eraser or dry cloth. This will condition the surface so it’s ready for use.

6.FINISH: Now that the sawhorses and tabletop are completely dry, simply slide the tabletop on top of the sawhorse to

complete the table. If you want to secure the table-top, use a drill and screws to attach it to the sawhorses.
