Dries fully in 24 hours.

Preparation:
Previous coats of water-soluble glue-bound distempers or lime paints should be removed. Any holes or uneven surfaces should be filled and levelled off with Earthborn Casein Filler. Ensure this is dry prior to applying the Casein Paint.
Note: Acidic surfaces, water, soot or nicotine stains should be treated with Earthborn Isolating Primer.

Instructions for Use:
Casein Paint is water-soluble but mixing is more effective with an electric drill and mixer attachment. Put the required amount of Casein paint powder into a bucket, gradually add water stirring continuously until a viscous consistency is reached. Use 0.7 litre of water per kg of paint powder. Leave to thicken for about 30-60 minutes, and then slowly add water again to bring the mixture back to a creamy consistency. Use a further 0.3 litre of water per kg of paint powder and stir vigorously. The paint thickens steadily during the first 24 hours so dilute it from time to time by adding a little more water.

Application:
Apply the paint thinly and evenly with a roller or large brush. Two thin coats produce the best results. Thick coats may form shiny spots. Note: If shiny spots occur, apply a further thin coat of paint. The covering power is achieved when the paint is fully dry. One coat is normally sufficient but on very absorbent surfaces e.g. fresh plaster, sandstone, and clay, apply several diluted coats (25% water) before the final top coat is applied. Allow each coat to dry completely. On clay surfaces slight cracks might appear during the drying process, in which case paint the whole surface again. Repeat if necessary.

Colouring:
Earthborn Casein Paint can be coloured with Earthborn pigments. Soak the pigments in water for several hours according to their make-up instructions. Add the soaked and well-stirred pigments to the ready-mixed wall paint and stir carefully but thoroughly.
Very intense shades (e.g. Ultramarine Blue, Ultramarine Violet, and Red Oxide) may become streaky so ensure an even application. To achieve fuller tone colours mix Earthborn Casein paint (two parts) with Earthborn Pigment (one part) and add the water. Note that this may produce a slight texture. Earthborn Casein paint can be used as a base for various glazing techniques using Earthborn Pigments & Earthborn Wall Glaze.
Note: Do not stir oil-based tints into Earthborn Casein Paint!
