If there is a sticking issue, adding 1% boiled linseed oil may solve it. NT And pray it doesn't rain.... just check the weather forecast. Lime paint takes a day or so to become rainproof. Hehe - the weather forecast. If it were April, I would to avoid painting due to the showers. May should be okay though. In reality, a new water-butt I put up at the start of April, remained empty until a week ago, and then filled up in one hour flat. fwiw fresh lime doesnt mind a light shower. Its so easy to apply & clean up, unlike other paints, that I dont mind a bit of a gamble on rain. NT |
