Milk Paint Reference? - Scoony - 05-03-2016
So I consider my experiment with home made milk paint last year a success.
I am going to be making a few pieces in the near future and will try something new with milk paint. I have some unflavored casein protein powder and will try that instead of separating milk. My goal is to make some ready to mix milk paints. I think I can figure out the ratios based on the recipe I used last year. I would also like to try making oil based paints to try on furniture.
I seem to recall seeing a book on old time furniture finishes, but can find it. Anyone know of references for making milk paints and oil paints for furniture?

Stephen Shepard had a book out but since his stroke, I don't think anybody is maintaining his on-line store.
My Google-fu is failing me but "receipt" instead of "recipe" is an archaic way of describing formulas. On some hard drive somewhere I have a couple of books downloaded from archive.org on various finishing methods and receipts for mixing.

Thanks, I think one of his books was what I was thinking about. Going to see if I can find a copy somewhere.
Not sure if it discusses milk paint but will help with other finishes I want to try.

This is one of the documents I was trying to remember. There is a recent 360woodworking article that links to it and reminded me.
