If you google "black soap" you come up with a type of soap made in Africa "from the ash of locally harvested plants and barks such a plantain, cocoa pods, palm tree leaves, and shea tree bark. First the leaves and bark are sun-dried and then roasted in a kettle or pot at an even, constant temperature, which is important to ensure color, texture and smell. Then water and various oils - palm oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil (including shea butter and cocoa pod powder) - are added to the mixture and stirred for at least a day. After that, the "soap" is left to set for two weeks to cure. "
It would probably work in the flour paint, but dish soap seems easier.

Hi Kim, Black soap is natural soap made with linseed oil , potassium and water ,without any other component.I wrote "black soap" beccause I didn't know the English word,sorry, but you can replace it with dish soap,it works ,too. My mother was so impressed with it that I began to paint ther shutters of my parents'farm....You can "Google" Swedish paint or flour paint for recipes.
