As a very rough guide - 1 litre of pigment is usually added per 20 litre bucket of limewash
- Strong colours are hard to achieve with a limewash as the lime is such a strong white and, although it is different for different pigments, there is only so much pigment that the paint can take.
- To make a colour:
- Soak pigment in enough warm water to cover the powder, preferably overnight, and mix well to create a liquid paste.
- Pour the paste into Limewash – be cautious add a little at a time.
- Stir with a whisk until completely blended.
- Test the colour by painting a sample on a piece of board/card/textured paper – allow it to dry in the sun, near a radiator. If you want a stronger colour repeat steps b-d.
- For making up large batches, try to mix the pigment in with all of the limewash in e.g. a large barell, to ensure consistency.
- Lime is caustic : WEAR GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES AND PROTECT SKIN.
- Refer to the Limewash technical sheet for details of how to apply a limewash.
