In a previous topic it was mentioned that:

"making your own lime paint is as difficult as making your own loaf of bread".

My interest is in a lime "wash" recipe to be painted over freshly lime/sand-plastered indoor walls. The effect I am trying to achieve is to soften the color with a silky matte pigmented wash and think lime will do the job. Problem is... I don't have a proper recipe for the wash. I am also not sure if I will need to add linseed oil and / or casein. I have found some recipes but they often vary.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mitchell
