Finnish paint

sader4 convinced that painting with oil paint tree - only waste time:

- Oil paint does not contribute to the longevity of the tree houses. Studies have shown that such paint is waterproof (it accumulates under the paint). This creates the optimum environment for the development of micro-organisms that destroy wood. Better use of Finnish composition. Such houses are decades without being destroyed.

Finnish part, considers forumchanin - a godsend for gardeners and residents of the village. To prepare the paint, we need:

• Lime dry pigment - 1560 g
• Inkstone - 1560

The main secret of quality Finnish paint - strict observance of technology of preparation.

First, prepare the paste: a flour gradually add water (6 l), bringing the composition to a consistency of thick cream. First, pour the cold water, the residue - hot. Strain the paste and put on fire. Stirring constantly, add salt, then - iron sulfate, followed by - a dry chalky pigment. Then pour the residue with hot water. Paint is applied onto the surface twice with a brush. Paint Flow Rate - 300 g per sq. m. According sader4, fence treated Finnish paint will stand up to 20 years without maintenance.

House or fence, previously painted with oil paint, completely clean from her, and then paint the Finnish structure, without primer. Specific color can cause the paint with the help of grated red brick, residues from decoctions nut crust, cornflower, sunflower seeds, etc.
