Does milk paint cover up commpletely? By that I mean,
will it cover my pencil marks, or will that all have
to be sanded clean?

Thanks,

No sanding needed. You can quickly remove pencil marks using a rag
dampened with 91% alcohol.

Or a big artists' eraser.

I often used milk paints because I wanted to see through... Are you sure
you are using milk paint for the right reason?

Probably not, but I'm curious to know what to
expect. Thanks.

Neither the drafting white or the big crumbly gum erasers leave the
residue/marking the pink erasers do...

a $0.02, ymmv, imo, etc., etc., etc., comment, of course...

Anyway, depending on the color, whites probably may not work well but I
often use 2 coats if I want an opaque finish.

Just a comment with regard to white erasers, but for 10 bucks you can get a
battery powered electric eraser from Staedtler that uses the white
material--it seems kind of silly to use a powered eraser until you've
actually used one--it's not the speed that makes it nice, it's the
precision.
