Heard a lot about it - wanted to try it.
I'd never used milk paint before and wanted to try it. The hardest part of the whole process was probably choosing the color. I bought Flag Red and Iron Black, planning to use the red first, then put on a layer of black. I mixed the red with too little water and had a layer of friable solid on the coating. Sanding gave a lot of red dust which coated everything. But it did give a matte surface of bright red. I was more careful measuring the black powder and water and got excellent coverage. After sanding and applying a matte acrylic varnish, I have an attractive medium-to-dark gray surface. I've used this painted toolbox for several months and the paint is holding up well.

Sealed our butcher block counters
We used RealMilk to seal our butcher block counters. The countered turned out beautifully and their product was easy to use and provided us with a nontoxic seal on the counter!!!
Great product
Great product! Exactly what is was looking for my project.

“Shellac" has always been a dirty word in my family. My son is an amateur carpenter and suggested I try using a wool applicator and shellac on my Grandmother antique buffet. I was blown away! The finish is fabulous, and the compliments never stop coming. Thank you for continuing to provide quality products! Mary
Very Happy 😁
Product was good value and arrived quickly. The Tung Oil worked beautifully!
Weight, and mixing.
Hi, I discovered Real Milk Paint a bit ago. Love it. However, on "mix it Monday" the host measures, instead if weighing the two ingredients. I believe weighing is more accurate and repeatable. As a budding cook, weighing is indispensable. Also, I have an electronic mixer, with a spinning magnet, that I employ for about an eight hour mix. Then I skim the foam. The result is incredibly smooth paint that I use. When combining those two methods with Real Milk Paint, I can get highly repeatable, and satisfying results. Thank you, Jim
Excellent service and product. I was pleased with the prompt mailing…
I was pleased with the prompt mailing of the products I ordered, citrus solvent and pure tung oil, on two occasions in August 2022. The solvent and oil mixed well and produced the results I wanted. Perfect service, excellent products.

After doing quite a bit of research and talking with the nice people at Milk Paint I decided to use the Outdoor Defense Oil on my redwood deck railing. I had several questions as regards how many coats,etc. as well as what I could possibly use as a top coat over it. Everyone I spoke with was very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. I would definitely recommend.

I have always heard woodworkers rave about tung oil finishes so I bought a gallon of 50/50 from The Real Milk Company to finish three quilt chest I built to gift at Christmas, and they still stink like ranced oil. Trying to figure out what to do to make them usable.
