DESCRIPTION

Junkyard Goddess Milk Paint is a powdered paint that is non-toxic, VOC-free, and 100% earth-derived -- even the pigments. When water is added, it becomes "paint." It is safe for people of all ages, pets and the planet. It creates a highly durable and beautiful finish, and is versatile and customizable. Mix only what you need, then save the rest. The paint consistency can be adjusted -- thicker for use as a faux finish, thinner for use as a stain or wash, and somewhere in the middle for furniture, cabinets or floors. All Junkyard Goddess Milk Paint colors can be mixed together to create thousands of unique tones and shades.

 FINISHING

Junkyard Goddess Milk Paint beautifully finishes home furnishings, thrift store finds, antiques, floors, cabinets, home decor, garden furnishings - and more - in a variety of materials ( unfinished or painted wood, metal, plaster, etc.). Easily create finishes such as cottage, shabby chic, french country, farmhouse, coastal, industrial and more.

Junkyard Goddess Milk Paint makes it easy to create an old-world finish that appears to have aged naturally.  Used alone, Junkyard Goddess Milk Paint will enable the finish to easily be chippy and distressed (unlike traditional latex paint). If a more even coverage is desired, add Junkyard Goddess Magic Bond to the mixed Junkyard Goddess Milk Paint mixture. It improves the adherence of the milk paint and creates a smoother finish that resembles the style of a chalk based paint.

PROTECTING

To protect the finish of Junkyard Goddess Milk Paint, apply a coat of Junkyard Goddess Hemp Oil, Junkyard Goddess Finishing Wax or Junkyard Goddess Glitter Wax. Scented with the sensual aroma of Nag Champa, both waxes are non-toxic and 100% chemical-free and preservative-free, and provide a rich and lustrous finish. Junkyard Goddess Glitter Wax can also be used on the body or on the hair for a beautiful, glitter and sparkle finish.
