Another question about milk paint

No sanding needed. You can quickly remove pencil marks using a rag dampened with 91% alcohol.

That's good info. Thanks.

Or a big artists' eraser.

I often used milk paints because I wanted to see through... Are you sure you are using milk paint for the right reason?

Probably not, but I'm curious to know what to expect. Thanks.

Pink Pearl to the rescue.

Neither the drafting white or the big crumbly gum erasers leave the residue/marking the pink erasers do...

a $0.02, ymmv, imo, etc., etc., etc., comment, of course...

Anyway, depending on the color, whites probably may not work well but I often use 2 coats if I want an opaque finish.

Just a comment with regard to white erasers, but for 10 bucks you can get a battery powered electric eraser from Staedtler that uses the white material--it seems kind of silly to use a powered eraser until you've actually used one--it's not the speed that makes it nice, it's the precision.

Yeah, guys, so stop using your sharpass knife to mark dovies and other lines which won't be cut away, huh? Use a pencil! (I just had to say that since most folks don't use a plane to remove those telltale marks. Some idiot who wrote an antique pricing book says to look for those to prove it was made 100+ years ago. Har!)
