The mix is very simple:
1 part water to one part powder. 
Use whatever size scoop you want.

We did not add any “Anti Foam” to this paint, so you may see some bubbles. 
They will settle out more the longer the paint sits.

Real Milk Paint has a lot of pigment, but when going over an old finish for the first coat you will see some transparency. Give a second coat when the first coat is dry.

This makes Real Milk Paint very smooth and creamy.
