Milk Paint Wood Finishes
Milk Paints
are the star of the furniture fashion market. They are
interior/exterior acrylic paints suitable for indoor or outdoor
furniture, crafts, and cabinets and can be applied directly from the
can to produce a high quality satin sheen finish. When used with Glaze
Effects, you can create all the new decorative finishes such as
distressing, antiquing, marble effects, rag rolling, or color washing.
High use flat surfaces such as dining tables and desks will develop the
patina of every day life over time so we recommend clear or wood stain
finishes to our customers who are patina-adverse. Milk Paints can be
used alone or mixed with any other product in the General Finishes
Water Based line, including Wood Stains, Country Colors, and Topcoats.
Milk Paints are available in the following colors: Snow White, Antique
White, Linen, Millstone, Outback Brown, Little Pink, Buttermilk Yellow,
Somerset Gold, Sage Green, Bayberry Green, Basil, Cypress Green, Red
Pepper, Autumn Haze, Brick Red, Tuscan Red, Baby Blue, Federal Blue,
Coastal Blue and Lamp Black.

colors shown are for reference purposes only. Always test stain on a
hidden area of the wood to verify desired color.

There
are many products on the market available for furniture care. To
maintain the finish, clean the surface with a damp washcloth and wipe
dry. Cleaners such as Pledge and Murphy’s Oil Soap are not recommended
because they leave a dull residue on the finish. Also, you should never
use products containing ammonia on water base finishes. Polishes such
as lemon oil or orange oil work well for routine maintenance. The
following are some tips on the different types of polishes.
Orange Oil
Orange Oil is by far the most popular. It can be used on any finish and
does a superb job of removing everyday dirt and dust. It is often
compared to lemon oil - however the big difference is that lemon oil
contains mineral spirits. Orange Oil is all natural, non-combustible
and made from real orange rinds. We love its fresh orange scent.
Butcher Block Oil
Butcher Block Oil is the preferred method to maintain butcher blocks or
any other surface that comes into contact with food such as salad
bowls, cutting boards and wooden utensils. Our product is made from FDA
approved mineral oil
Oil and Wax
Oil and Wax has the same citrus base as orange oil with the addition of
natural beeswax. Its recommended use is on Danish Oil finishes that do
not employ a surface sealing finish. The oils will penetrate into the
wood while the wax seals the surface, maintaining a beautiful, rich
luster.
Satin Finishing Wax
Satin Finishing Wax (natural or dark) is a dual-purpose product. It can
be used as a polish for rubbing out new finishes or as a scratch
remover for worn surfaces. It works well over both oil and water based
finishes, including Danish Oil. We recommend a wet sanding process
followed by buffing to a soft silky sheen.
Furniture Cleaner
Furniture Cleaner is our strongest heavy duty cleaner with a mineral
spirits base and is designed for serious cleaning applications. Apply
with a 0000 grade steel wool to remove old oils, wax and grease from
any wood surface. After the surface is clean, apply General Finish's
topcoats or Satin Wax to bring back luster.
