Processing instructions 

Shake before use. The standard casein tempera binder is a mixture of casein binder (50088) with linseed oil stand oil (50005) in a ratio of 10:1 (by volume). For an oil-rich casein tempera, the ratio of casein binder to linseed oil stand oil can be increased to a maximum of 10:3 (by volume). A casein tempera with less oil can be obtained by adding 1 part resin solution to 10 parts of the standard casein tempera binder (by volume). Suitable resin solutions are, for example, 1:3 mixtures of Venetian turpentine resin (50073) or dammar in pieces (50093) in turpentine oil (50024 / 50102) (by weight). 

The mixing ratio of binder to pigment depends heavily on the type of colorant. Our recommendation: start with equal parts binder and pigment, then add binder or pigment until the desired consistency is achieved. 

The dried paint application should have a smooth surface and not rub off when rubbed with the dry ball of the hand. 

The paint mixtures rubbed with such a casein tempera binder can be diluted with three times the amount of water if necessary. Tempera binders and paints rubbed with them are intended for immediate use and should only be kept for a few days in a closed container, even if stored in a cool place. 

Clean tools immediately after use with water or water and soap. Close containers immediately after use. Store in a cool, dry place. 

The pure casein binder can be frozen to increase its shelf life – preferably in portions – and thawed as needed. Individual preliminary tests are recommended.
