Inspired by the famous traditional falun / falu red paints commonly used in Sweden, Finland, and Norway. The name falun originates in “Falun” which is a small city in Sweden. It is known for iron and copper mining, and the waste products from the mines were used to make red paint.
Traditional falun paint is made from water, rye flour, linseed oil, as well as silicates mixed with iron oxides and copper compounds.
This type of paint is permeable, which means it will change colour depending upon weather conditions. On days with high levels of humidity, it looks a darker shade of red than on a dry summer day.
This paint is biocide free.
Ingredients: Water, mineral fillers, mineral pigments, linseed oil, wheaten flour, vitriolic iron.
Coverage: 4m2 per litre
Application: Stir well before use. Mix together products from different batch numbers to even out any differences.
Avoid direct sunlight or contact with moisture during application. Ensure temperature range of 10∞C to 30∞C, and humidity below 85%
Dilute the first coat with 20% water, allow 24 hours drying time, followed by an undiluted second coat. The base coat will not adhere to wood knots and nail heads. Apply another coat to these areas.
Wood reach in substances (e.g. oak, Douglas fir) can cause discoloration and problems of adhesion.

Maintenance: Any surface damage should be repaired immediately to ensure longevity. The paint is not abrasion resistant and will gradually wash out over time. To maintain, add fresh paint as required. Just brush off any dirt or loose particles before use.
