Apply with a natural bristle brush, painter’s brush, foam brush, or foam roller. Reduce potential foaming of milk paint by using Anti-Foam.

To remove conventional paints, we recommend Soy Gel. Real Milk Paint® is a natural product and sticks best to other natural, porous surfaces like raw wood, concrete, brick, terra cotta, etc. For painting over nonporous or previously finished surfaces always test for adhesion or use Ultra Bond to ensure adhesion. We recommend TSP (trisodium phosphate) as a cleaner.
