painting a structure intended to burn

Post by ZaphodBurner » Wed Jun 29, 2005 10:11 am

Going to be burning parts of our wood structure this year, but would like to paint it. We're thinking of tempura so that it will be non-toxic, etc.

Anybody have any previous experience or advice as to what paint is best/BM-friendliest?

Use the search function to look for "milk paint" that should get you to a thread in which we discussed this. If you could post the link here, then others could see and contribute more easily.
