Recipe: Cellulose Glue-base Color Wash

Glue-/Gelatin- or Size-base paints have always been popular due to their easy handling, low costs and beautiful color-clear, matt finish. The most important property of glue-/gelatinor size-base paints is their easy washability and reversibility. In fact, glue-/size-base paints have to be washed o. before repainting can take place because they cannot be painted over. The use of glue-/size-base paint, however, is especially recommended, due to the ecologic, hygienic, physical and aesthetic advantages it provides. Glue-/Gelatin-/Size-base paint is suitable for the following surfaces: lime plaster, lime-cement plaster, synthetic resin plaster, dispersion paints. The surface must be thoroughly dry and free of dirt.
