☆ Made from natural raw materials , completely VOC-free and biodegradable
☆ Food safe – therefore also ideal for children’s furniture or toys
☆ In powder form – so the consistency can be individually adjusted: from thin like a glaze to thick for textured surfaces
☆ Can be used directly on untreated wood; for sealed surfaces, the addition of Extra-Bond is recommended
☆ Often develops slight flaking or hairline cracks when drying, which is typical of the vintage and shabby look

If you prefer the classic farmhouse look , apply the paint in a medium thickness and work with light wear—through sanding, layering, or deliberate chipping. The paint can be protected with wax or a matte varnish at the end, depending on how much wear the piece will be subjected to.
