Water Base Stains and Finishes 

Milk Paints Wood Stains Country Colors PolyAcrylic Blend High Performance Polyurethane   Milk Paints 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.
