Re: [papercreters] Milk Paint

Wouldn't the milk stink after a while? The reason that I say this is because I have some relatives that work in prison systems and sometimes the inmates will use milk to make a sheet white to have something to draw on. The drawings are often confiscated due to the gang related drawings on them and they would stink after a few days or so due to the milk spoiling. I don't know how big of an issue that this would be (or not) because it would be used on exterior panels but it might be something to consider.  --- On Sat, 8/16/08, kathjn <kathjn@yahoo.com> wrote: From: kathjn <kathjn@yahoo.com> Subject: [papercreters] Milk Paint To: papercreters@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, August 16, 2008, 5:51 AM Hello, Just a question here for someone who may have some experience with this? My elderly family used to say they made paint out of milk and would white wash adobe homes with the mixture of which I have no details in the mix. Yet I see on another group that someone posted a watered down version of raw milk sprayed on plants would prevent the fungi powdery mildew. Some believe this maybe a new source for organic treatment which has been recently observed as a postive practice. So this now has me asking if it if feasible to add raw milk to the papercrete mix ? Would this also be something to treat the exterior of a papercrete project with seasonaly? Anyone out there who has had any practical experience with milk paint or using it as an additive? Kathie
