I dunno what kind of acrylics she's used but I've ingested artist acrylic (by accident) and nothing happened. I wonder if she's using some weird hybrid. I also don't know what kind of chalk paint she's using but the kind I have used (rustoleum chalked) will come off with a fingernail unless you top coat it.

This was a real eye opener. Thanks so much. However, as an acrylic painter, my paint can be cleaned with soap and water. Is acrylic furniture paint different?

This was scientifically informative, and I appreciated the info. I think your introductory singing should have been avoided, sorry! I will watch some of your other videos, thanks!

Did not really understand what else is chaulk paint made of besides talc, plaster, etc.

Totally wrong unfortunately..
All pigmented water based paints are either latex or emulsions (meaning solids or oil dispersed in water).
Regardless of that, paints labeled as "Latex" are for interior use, and Acrylics are for exterior use.
There is no particular reason for this. It's just something that has stuck.
Chalk paints can be either Latex or Acrylic. Chalk is added to the paint making it easy to sand.
