Gently smoothen the cloth from center towards the edges of the plywood to make sure that there are no wrinkles. Paste the excessive cloth at the back side of the plywood with white glue.

Mix chalk powder, white glue and water in the ratio of 2:1:1.5 and apply the coating on the board for 3 times. If we apply first coat on vertical direction then, apply second coat on horizontal direction. After final coating allow the board to dry for one day. Smoothen the board with emery paper.
