Linen MilkPaint™

Linen MilkPaint™ 

The subtle warmth of this sweet cream is woven all throughout, just like the fibers of rustic linen fabric. It's lighter than Marzipan and doesn't have the same nutty almond tones. Linen reminds us of being wrapped in your coziest lambswool sweater, snuggling into your favorite upholstered chair, and the worn pages of an antique copy of your favorite book.

MilkPaint™ Information

100% Natural | Eco Friendly | Organic | Non-Toxic | No VOCs

MilkPaint™ is a powdered paint that has been around for thousands of years. It is a versatile paint that can be used to achieve a variety of looks from chippy and distressed to smooth and sleek. Just add water!

How to Prep for MilkPaint™

Raw Wood - No prep is required. MilkPaint™ can be applied to any porous surface without a primer.

Pre-Finished Surfaces - Scuff up the surface with medium grit sandpaper (100-150) prior to painting. Remove the dust with a vacuum or cloth.

Glass and Metal - Clean the surfaces with either glass cleaner or a slightly dampened rag. Obviously, you can’t sand these surfaces, so mix up your Milk Paint and add MilkGrip™.

 How to Mix MMS MilkPaint™

1. Mix approximately 1 part water to 1 part MilkPaint™ powder with a blender (strictly used for paint), by shaking in a lidded container, hand mixing with a whisk, stir stick, or with a motorized paint mixer.

2. Add warm water (not hot) to the container first, then add milk paint powder slowly and mix for 3-5 minutes.

3. Paint a test swatch to make sure desired consistency has been achieved. If the paint is translucent or runny, it is too thin. If the brush drags and the paint appears gritty or chunky, it is too thick. Add more water or powder accordingly, and mix again.

4. Stir paint occasionally while painting, as pigments may settle at the bottom of the container.

(MilkMix-EZ™  can be added to the paint. It will reduce or eliminate foaming and bubbling, enabling easier mixing and application. It will break the surface tension to allow faster mixing and the proper texture of paint for application. An added benefit, it will also make the paint smoother. *When used at the recommended amounts, it will not negatively affect paint adhesion. See MilkMix-EZ™ for use instructions.)
