Glue paint with cellulose glue as a binder is easier to handle and is therefore recommended for the amateur.
Both recipes cover an area of about 20-30 square meters.
How to make glue paint with bone glue:
- Pour 5 liters of cold water into a large bucket. Carefully pour the chalk down to form a conical "sugar" top. Important not to do in reverse order! Do not stir the mixture, then there will be lumps in the paint. Let it rest overnight, so that the chalk can swell and absorb the water.
- The bone glue is soaked the same day as the chalk. Put the glue in a stainless steel container, pour water so that it just covers and leave to rest until the next day. The next day, the glue is heated in a water bath until it becomes fluid. The water bath must not exceed 60 degrees.
- Remove the glue from the water bath and pour into the chalk solution. Stir vigorously. Use a drill with a paint mixer to avoid lumps in the paint.
How to make glue paint with cellulose paste:

- Mix the cellulose paste in 5L of water, follow the instructions on the package.
- Stir the glue mixture into that chalk solution and mix thoroughly. Feel free to use a drill with a paint mixer to avoid lumps in the paint.
