I bought some new shades of the milk paint. Mixing it is something of a learning curve. So I got some of the defoaming liquid. The instructions are pretty non specific. 2-4 drops per pint? I rarely make a pint of the paint. An eyedropper should be included.

Thank you for the 4-star review and for the honest feedback! We recently discovered a batch of older reviews that hadn't been seen at the time, and we wanted to make sure we acknowledged your helpful suggestion. You are absolutely right that mixing milk paint has a bit of a learning curve, and we’re glad you gave the defoamer a try to help smooth things out. We really appreciate the feedback regarding the instructions and the eyedropper.

Almost perfect experience
I've been using RMP's Pure Tung oil for an outdoor bench for several years. I've renewed the finish several times. I ran out of the Tung oil so it was time to order more. In reviewing RMP's web site I noticed the Outdoor Defense Oil. The bench is under cover but exposed to the elements. I sent a message to RMP asking if that would be a better finish. I never received a response. That dropped my rating here by a star. However, there was enough information on the website that I decided to go with the Outdoor oil. It just arrived today so I haven't used it yet. The follow up after placing my order and the tracking information were excellent so I rated the experience 4 stars.

Thank you for being such a loyal customer over the years! We recently uncovered a group of older reviews that had unfortunately been missed at the time, and we wanted to sincerely apologize for the silence you experienced when you reached out. We are a small team and we truly aim to get back to everyone quickly, but it’s clear we dropped the ball on your message. We hate that it cost us a star, but we completely understand your frustration. It’s great to hear that the website information helped you make the move to the Outdoor Defense Oil - it's a fantastic choice for benches exposed to the elements. We hope the new finish has been performing well on your bench. If you ever have questions about future applications, please don't hesitate to give us another shout!

Great old-time product for those with old-time patience.
I used RMP Tung Oil on a sanded 100 year-old heart pine bedroom floor. Good penetrating protection. Looking forward to easy spot maintenance. Floor's wear history is still evident. On my next floor, I will experiment with pre-staining to blend wear history. Great product, but patience is required on old wood prep. Be prepared to wait weeks for complete curing.

Milk Paint experience
I used milk paint to paint an IKEA cabinet that I’d sanded. Then I covered the paint with clear soft wax. That was the hard part. I got better at waxing as I went along, but parts of the cabinet look kind of streaky, although it looks great from a distance. So I’m leaving it the way it is, and since it’s from IKEA I’m pretending the paint job is a recently revived old Swedish art form.
Response from RMP FinishesAug 22, 2023
Hi Mary, thanks for your review and sharing your experience! Sometimes buffing with a soft cloth can help even out the wax. Milk paint by nature can have a slightly streaky look. Each color is a bit different in how much that shows through. Hope that helps!
