A little info about milk paint...
What is milk paint?
It's a powdered, all natural paint (no VOC's) that has been around for thousands of years, even found in the Egyptian pyramids and on ancient cave paintings.
What is the difference between Chalk Paint and Milk Paint?
They are two totally different kinds of paint. Chalk paint comes premixed and is great for its adhesive qualities and ability to paint almost any surface without prep work. Milk paint comes in a powder form and is mixed with water to turn it into paint. It also has great adhesion with the bonding agent added directly to the first coat of paint.
The versatility of milk paint is simply incredible. You can achieve virtually any look you desire depending on how you mix the powder, and how much water you add to it.
You can achieve a thicker paste tempera finish, a stain, a washed look, pickled effect or a solid opaque finish with no distressing at all. Milk paint is so easy to distress to give you an authentically aged look.
Milk paint is food safe and a great natural finish for children's toys and furniture.
Is Milk Paint good for raw wood?
Yes, it’s the best paint for raw wood. It acts like a stain, but looks like a paint. The colour will penetrate the wood for a lasting finish that won't chip or flake. This makes it an ideal paint for raw wood cabinets, decking or raw wood outdoor garden furniture.
What ever look you desire, it can be achieved with Miss Mustard Seed's milk paint.
