Natural bristle brushes are\n                        fine, but foam brushes may require less effort and leave fewer brush marks. Milk paint is\n                        naturally somewhat streaky in color. This is normal. The most even color is achieved by\n                        spraying. Next best for evenness is by roller application. Again, you may find that foam rollers\n                        are easier to control. For spraying, paint should be a little thinner than for brushing, and\n                        should be strained. Spray with conventional spray equipment at about 30 lbs. pressure. Adjust\n                        pressure and nozzle to get a good paint film, not dry and not runny. With a little practice you\n                        should be able to spray a Windsor chair in about 3 or 4 minutes.

Being true to the original formulas we do not add unnatural preservatives or extenders to\n                    our paint and due to its organic nature it can thicken and gel up over time, so it is best to mix up\n                    what you plan to use that day if possible.

Any sealer\n                        will work over the milk paint, but again, it is important to test the finish over a painted\n                        scrap to be sure that you like the end result. Penetrating oils such as linseed, tung, or\n                        blended oils like Watco Danish Oil will deepen the color considerably, but are beautiful over\n                        the milk paint, especially on a piece of furniture such as a chair. Wax is fine, too, but, as\n                        with the above oils, may not protect enough against coffee cup rings, for example, on a table\n                        top. Clear gel finishes and most solvent based finishes usually work well as sealers but like\n                        oils and waxes, do darken the paint color, and can tend to yellow a bit which may be of concern\n                        if you are using a white milk paint. An oil or solvent based sealer may be the best option for\n                        kitchen cabinets. On floors use a sealer meant for floors for best protection.\n                    \u003c\/li\u003e\n                \u003c\/ul\u003e\n                \u003ch3\u003e(B) Wall Painting Procedures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eNew wallboard and new plaster.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cul\u003e\n                    \u003cli\u003e\n                        \u003cstrong\u003ePrepare Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e On sheetrock or masonry that has joint compound over joints\n                        and nails, \"joint banding\" or \"photographing\" may produce problems caused by the differences in\n                        porosities and surface texture of the face paper of the sheetrock or the roughness of masonry\n                        and the smoothness of the joint compound. When viewed in direct lighting, the joints may be\n                        visible. To avoid this phenomenon, an initial coat of \"Sheetrock First Coat\" or equivalent flat\n                        latex wall primer (available at most paint stores) is advisable.

By ignoring this practice, the new paint\n                        may not adhere well and future coats could peel off when repainted.\n                    \u003c\/li\u003e\n                    \u003cli\u003e\n                        \u003cstrong\u003eTest Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e For previously painted multiple coated surfaces, it is very\n                        important to also test the layers of paint for adhesion to each other. This is to be sure that\n                        the old paint won't peel off and take the new paint with it. First, cut a one inch long \"X\" in\n                        the old paint film with a razor blade or sharp knife. It's best to do this in a few different\n                        areas. Then apply a strip of Scotch tape or masking tape over the \"X\", and rub the tape on\n                        firmly. Then pull it off quickly. If the old paint comes off with the tape, you have poor\n                        adhesion, usually created from re-painting over grime.\n                    \u003c\/li\u003e\n                    \u003cli\u003e\n                        \u003cstrong\u003eRemove Old Paint:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the old paint films have poor adhesion, we do not\n                        recommend painting over with any water paint, including milk paint.

If you are unsure of the surface it is a good idea to\n                        test the project first from start to finish in an unnoticeable area. This means applying two\n                        coats in your test if that is what you plan to do on your project. Often times, on a\n                        questionable surface, the first coat may appear to adhere, but sometimes an adhesion problem is\n                        not apparent until you apply the second coat.\n                    \u003c\/li\u003e\n                    \u003cli\u003e\n                        \u003cstrong\u003eSeal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seal, if desired, as in \"A-7,\" above.\n                    \u003c\/li\u003e\n                \u003c\/ul\u003e\n                \u003ch3\u003e(D) Exterior Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                \u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eWe\n                    do not recommend Safe Paint for exterior use at this time, pending further outdoor exposure testing.\n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\n                    \u003cstrong\u003eUpdate 8\/2023:\u003c\/strong\u003e In 2020, we painted a plain pine board and left it outside, fully\n                    exposed to the elements, as a long-term test. No Extra Bond or sealer was applied. Our shop is\n                    located in Utah, where we experience intense desert heat in summer and heavy snow in winter. Three\n                    years later, the board still looks great overall—just slightly weathered. It has faded somewhat, and\n                    the paint has chipped off around the wood knots, but the finish remains largely intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n                \u003cul\u003e\n                    \u003cli\u003eWeight \u003cspan\u003e.06 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\n                    \u003c\/li\u003e\n                    \u003cli\u003eSize 1 Gallon, 1 Quart, 2 ounce sample, 5 Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n                \u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" id=\"tab4\"\u003e\n                \u003ch3\u003eSizes \u0026amp;
