I forced
chipping of the milk paint using 2 methods: 1.

I'm probably wrong but I thought one
of the reasons for using

chipped naturally.
If you put a base coat
of milk paint on a piece with the bonding agent and then put a top layer on in another color will you get that wonderful
chipping?
Based on what I've read,
milk paint can sometimes have a mind
of its own —
chipping and flaking wherever it sees fit.
I used Bonding Agent often with my
milk paint knowing full well that most times it works and keeps the
paint from
chipping much, but
milk paint kinda does what it wants to do sometimes regardless
of the plan you have in mind.
There did not appear to be any remaining finish on it, perhaps there never was, so I knew that
milk -
painting would most likely not cause any sort
of chipping which I did not wish for this piece.
I recently
painted a coffee table with
milk paint and it
chipped way too much — to the point where there are just small patches
of paint with mostly just the underneath ugly varnish showing.
Today I'm going to share some
of my favorite advanced
milk paint techniques including using bonding agent, layering
milk paint with other types
of paint, resists, how to control the
chipping, how to create a crackle effect, and custom mixing.
Therefore I decided to forgo the use
of OFMP's Extra Bond, which, if applied to the first coat
of milk paint, will act as a primer and not allow any
chipping to occur through all subsequent layers
of paint and medium.
