What is lime wash

A condensed, ready-mixed architectural topcoat, suitable for interior and exterior applications, that delivers a traditional matte finish in a beautiful range of soft colors. Composed of three all-natural ingredients: lime putty (the binder), mineral pigments, water (the solvent). Contains no chemical solvents or artificial ingredients. A 100% dilutable product that can be applied as a glaze, a wash, or full-strength. Bonds to the surface through a natural process resulting in a durable, breathable coating. May be applied directly to any mineral substrate that is untreated, unsealed, unpainted. May be applied to drywall and other non-mineral substrates providing they have been prepared with Bonding Primer. May be used as a wash to lime woodgrain.
