Old Fashioned Milk Paint

Old Fashioned Milk Paint is the recreation of an ancient homemade paint formula, containing just milk protein (casein), lime and natural earth or mineral pigments, making it environmentally friendly, non-toxic, VOC-free, baby-safe, food-safe & biodegradable.

Mix in equal parts paint powder to warm water, but can be made thinner for a colourwash or thicker for stencilling or art projects for example, by adjusting the amount of water added.

Size: 60g Sample Bag in all colours, 340g Quart Bags are available in Snow White & Pitch Black.

HOW MUCH WATER TO ADD

You should only mix up the amount of paint needed for the project, as once mixed it will only last a few days or so if covered and put in the fridge (unused paint powder lasts indefinitely in an airtight container). So it is better to mix up smaller batches and mix more as needed. 

As equal quantities of powder and water are required for normal furniture painting, the easiest way is to measure out the powder and water by volume. So whatever you are using to measure the powder into the mixing bowl or container, use the same to measure in the water. For example:

• One 'cup' measure of water for each 'cup measure of powder. Or,
• One scoop of water for every scoop of powder 
• One spoonful of water for every spoonful of powder
