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.

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

Yeah, guys, so stop using your sharpass knife to mark dovies and other
lines which won't be cut away, huh? Use a pencil!
(I just had to say that since most folks don't use a plane to remove
those telltale marks. Some idiot who wrote an antique pricing book
says to look for those to prove it was made 100+ years ago. Har!)

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

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...

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.
