hemp oil: magic in a bottle (part deux)

October 15, 2014 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: News

Sometimes in my class, confusion arises when we talk about hemp oil as a finish for milk paint and hemp oil as a resist for milk paint. It sounds contradictory, I know. At fivethirty home, we only use hemp oil as a finish for milk paint if there was no bonding agent added to the paint and if the piece was raw wood or very worn. It is better to seal pieces done using bonding agent with a wax or our new Tough Coat. Here’s a dresser we sealed with hemp oil:

Another tip: don’t over-saturate the piece with hemp oil because it will take a lot longer to dry and cure. I gave this piece about 2 weeks of curing time before I brought it to the store.

Now, using hemp oil as a resist! It’s fun – I always say this is where the creativity and the science meet! Hemp Oil forces the milk paint to chip and create that great weathered finish we love. We added a little more hemp oil to our handy table legs… we sprayed it this time and used a lint free cloth to even it out.

As it starts to dry, you’ll see the sections with a heavier coat of hemp oil start to dry a little differently
