Getting Started With General Milk Paint
While not actually derived from milk proteins, this latex paint has hues akin to those of traditional milk paints. It dries to a satin finish and has a more homogeneous, opaque quality.
Although you have probably worked with latex paints, we’d like to review some considerations before you begin painting.
What should I be aware of before I start painting?
- General milk paint requires a porous surface to adhere properly.
- Give the paint a thorough stir to disperse any pigment or other solids that may have settled, but don’t introduce bubbles.
- Ensure the surface is clean and free of contaminants. On raw wood, sand up to 220x. No primer is needed. On previously finished wood, clean using a 50/50 mixture of denatured alcohol and water, applied with a fine abrasive pad.
- Knots can be sealed with shellac to help prevent bleed-through.
In the next section, we’ll show you how to work with General milk paint to obtain the best results and answer some common questions.
