What is milk paint? What are the traditional uses of milk paint? Can I make it at home? Where do I get the color/pigment? Can I stain over it?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I have an old scarred up shelving unit that has dents, scars, nail holes, and over all wear. I thought I might try my hand at antiquey finishing (I know, it's not a word.) I don't like the cracked paint look, so someone suggested milk paint and tinted polyurethane over it. I have never been exposed to this finishing opportunity, so I came here to ask the experts. Thanks in advance for the help.
