Painting My Windows With MILK?? - DIY Frosted Windows. 

i'm still skeptical 🤔

@@Oscar4u69 haha so am I.

It must be april fools day... otherwise it will become disgustingly yellowish and rancid when drying and oxydazing...

No way, has to be April fools joke😁

The day before lol

sorry to disillusion you but it worked to begin with... but now my window has become mouldy and smells like cheese!!

@@minnawight3294 maybe add some anti mold stuff in it? like tea tre oil or something.

I know right?

Well, it works in the winter but summer may beg to differ.

@@mohamedmagdy-dz1pm Why's that?

How did you wash it off?

@@sophiacloud9905 Just hot soapy water

One way to avoid that would be to seal it somehow. A lacquer would most likely work. It's worth looking into.

You have to seal it off from the mold otherwise you're just giving the mold an easy to access food source.

Yes, I guess it makes sense that some mould would appears. Thanks for this comment!!!

Also really cool!

For me it's the mould. I'm curious about that

Thanks for watching! Hang in there :)

@@achappel Will do! You too, hope you are well!

hey, i hope this worked out for you and you're doing well.

And..... the verdict is in: they do. It was great for about a month but now my window is starting to grow mould.........

@@popovic5463 it's probably not the type of buttermilk but rather the environmental conditions. The room I used it in was small and perhaps the ventilation was not as good as possible. There may have been more moisture in the air than in your workshop. I am certainly not making this up - my windows did grow mould. But I'm sure it can work in the right conditions.

Cold outside, warm inside with any significant humidity and condensation will form on the windows...even more possible if they are single pane and not double pane insulating glass...😏

Could you pasteurize it beforehand and kill the bacteria beforehand? Or can the dried film also take on a colony?

@@popovic5463 well you see there's something called different environments. It will absolutely mold in places where it's hot and humid and if the layer is thick enough no doubt.

You reckon it's colder than Norway in winter? You know, since this video was filmed in Norway in winter.

I'll have to keep an eye on it, as my plants are directly below it, but I can clean the frames real good below too, might try a few other things as well if that doesn't work, lots of cool options I'd love to try from the comments, some might be better for the bedroom, but it might be OK if I do it a lot higher up and some of the others a bit lower near the plants, that would probably work great actually! Darker tint would be nice in the summer as we get so much sunlight here in Alaska, and I'm not way up north where it's really bad haha!

You use borax or pit lime with curd cheese, and it's still bioactive though only slowly degrading.

Milk paint has no milk in it

@@DragonGateDesign I know it’s been a long time since you wrote your comment though proper milk paint most definitely has milk in it it’s the main ingredient I actually make it myself 👍🏼

Milk paint is not made with actual Milk

@@colleta2400 you're entitled to your own opinion, even if it's wrong. Here's a snippet from "Plain and pleasant talk about fruits, flowers and farming" Beecher, Henry Ward from 1859, on the topic of milk paint: "^A paint has been used on the Continent with success, made from milk and lime, that dries quicker than oil paint, and has no smell. It is made in the following manner : Take fresh curds and bruise the lumps on a grinding-stone, or in an earthen pan, or mortar, with a spatula or strong spoon. Then put them into a pot with an equal quantity of lime, well slacked with water, to make it just thick enough to be kneaded. Stir this mixture without adding more water, and a white-colored fluid will soon be obtained, which will serve as a paint." There are other recipes which use skim milk, for instance, but the common denominator in all of the recipes is that they all contain a milk product, used for its milk protein content. If you find milk paint which doesn't have milk in it, it simply is not milk paint.

just add an anti-fungal.

@@montoyanancy Uuuh are you raking about putting used ones on there?

Hmm, it would be a bit more permanent, but it wight work yes! :)

It would need to be an oil based clear since a water based one might take off the milk. On the other hand you may want to try mixing in a little buttermilk into a water based clear and see if that works?

@@achappel The most permanent solution: Take your dremel and a diamond bit and be creative, tattoo your bathroom window! People will stop and stare! Fun! And it will not peel off like any clear coat.

found this useful thanks

Quick question is this prone to moulding?

where do all of you guys talking about condensation live? I have never seen condensation on windows in my whole life. I am from central europe. the only condensation we get here is on the mirror in the bathroom..

yeah, its still the same, I've heard from people that have had it for many years without a problem :)
