description: How to Use Unpigmented Milk Paint Unpigmented milk paint is a versatile, natural powder you mix and tint yourself. It bonds exceptionally well to porous surfaces and can be customized with pigments to create beautiful, matte finishes on furniture, cabinets, walls, and decorative projects. Here's a complete, step-by-step guide. 1. Mixing the Base Combine the unpigmented milk paint powder with warm or room-temperature water at roughly equal parts by volume (1 part powder to 1 part water) for a standard consistency. Adjust as needed: More water → a thinner wash, stain, or translucent effect. Less water → a thicker, more textured paint. Mixing technique: Start by making a smooth paste with a small amount of water to avoid lumps, then gradually add the rest and stir thoroughly. Let the mixture rest for a minute or two before adding pigment (see methods below). Tip: Mixed paint stores well for days to weeks in an airtight container. Stir well before each use. 2. Adding Pigments Use lime-proof pigments — most earth pigments, oxides, and natural mineral pigments work well — since the lime in the formula can cause some colors to fade over time. Always test a small batch first. Recommended starting ratios (measure by weight for best consistency, ideally with a small scale): Dry mix method (best for small batches): roughly 1 part pigment to 9–10 parts paint powder by volume — about 10–15% pigment for oxides and primaries, or 15–20% for natural earths, ochres, and French minerals (relative to the dry base powder weight). Wet mixing / slaking (better for larger batches or pigments like Titanium White): pre-mix the pigment with an equal amount of water into a smooth, lump-free paste, then stir it into the prepared milk paint base. Let it rest and mix well. Steps: For small tests, shake pigment and dry base powder together vigorously in a sealed container to disperse evenly. Add water to the combined dry mix (roughly 1:1, or slightly more). Experiment with different pigment amount…
