Paint for farm buildings recipe shared by Indiana Farmer
A reader requests the Tribune Farmer recipe for skim paint. C B Chapman replies with a four year successful barn and henhouse coating using a milk lime cement mix, thinly applied to penetrate grain. He notes it wears where water runs, flakes if too thick, but dries to look good and is cheaper than ordinary paint. The recipe includes milk, color, lime or cement, a stiff brush, and a vigorous helper. He advises minimal coats and mixing only a small batch at a time.
