[papercreters] Milk Paint

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?
