Environmental Considerations
Environmentally friendly product made with natural sustainable ingredients. It contains no VOCs, no petrochemical-based ingredients, and no lead. Water-based. All Rose of Jericho paints comply with the latest environmental legislation.
Usage/Purpose
To be used for the decoration of ceilings and walls in low traffic or low usage areas, and particularly appropriate for the decoration of fine decorative plasterwork. For interior use only. Porous surfaces should be primed with Claircolle (RJ 4.05). Soft Distemper applied to appropriate surfaces will not readily rub off on clothes. It is not as wipeable as Casein Distemper (RJ 4.02), Oil Bound Distemper distemper (RJ 4.03) or Vinyl Matt Emulsion. Distempers should not be over painted with emulsion or other modern paint types.
Coverage
c.10 m²/ litre/coat on smooth surfaces of average porosity.
Shelf Life
Limited. Unopened cans have a 12 week shelf life when stored in a cool environment. Protect from frost. Best used within 4 weeks of purchase.
Finish
Matt with subtle variations of colour and tone.
Observations
Touch dry in 4 hours in good drying conditions, Allow 12 hours between coats.
Preparation
Ensure Soft Distemper is within shelf life period. All surfaces should be sound, dry, and free from dirt, oil, grease or other contamination. Previously distempered surfaces should be wiped or washed free of all powdery surface material. Porous surfaces should be primed with one coat of Claircolle. New lime plaster should be allowed to carbonate and dry for at least four weeks prior to application. Any fungus or mould must be treated with a fungicide and making good and filling should be carried out with material appropriate to the substrate. Soft Distemper can be applied to prepare previously emulsion painted surfaces in normal domestic environments. It is not recommended that distemper be applied to emulsion and other modern paint types in poorly heated and poorly ventilated buildings including churches. Seek Technical Advice. Sample trials should be carried out well in advance to ensure that the surface is suitable for application.
Application
Two coats normally recommended. Apply by brush. Cannot be spray or roller applied. Soft Distemper is a thick gel that brushes out readily, and thinning should not be necessary for primed or previously painted surfaces. Soft Distemper is temperature sensitive and will thicken in cold conditions. It can be returned to the correct consistency by placing in a warm room or standing the can in a bucket of hot water. Stirring with a mechanical whisk can be advantageous for application to certain surfaces, as can light mist spraying of the surface prior to application. Only if absolutely necessary dilute by no more than 10% water and whisk thoroughly. Brushes and equipment should be cleaned with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Usage/Purpose
Pure Limewash is used for the decoration of porous internal surfaces. It should not be used on cement render, gypsum plaster, timber, or surfaces painted with anything other than limewash.
Coverage
Approx. 5m²/litre/coat depending upon texture and porosity of surface.
Shelf Life
Pure Limewash has unlimited shelf life kept in sealed containers. Protect from heat and frost.
Finish
Matt surface coating. Colours are darker in tone when wet.
Observations
Sample trials should always be carried out to assess compatibility with substrate. Pure Limewash should be protected from drying too quickly, and from frost before carbonation. It may brush off on clothes. For internal use only – rarely used externally. Casein Bound Limewash (RJ3.02) adheres better to less porous surfaces and is less likely to brush off on clothes, and is therefore often used internally. Coloured limewashes are made using natural earth pigments. Variations due to these pigments and differing porosity of surfaces are inevitable. Much of the charm of a traditional finish is its lack of uniformity with subtle variations of colour and tone.
Preparation
Pure Limewash requires a surface which is firm, clean, and porous. It can be applied to new lime putty plaster before it has fully dried and carbonated as the permeable nature of a limewash permits carbonation of the plaster beneath to continue. Pure Limewash can be applied to previously limewash painted surfaces, but cannot be applied to other paint types. Previously limewashed surfaces should be thoroughly brushed and washed with a wet sponge to remove dust, dirt and all loose chalky material that is removed readily. Any algae or mould must be treated with an algaecide or fungicide and thoroughly washed off with clean water. Do not use proprietary fungicides containing water repellents. Make good and fill with a compatible filler. Pure Limewash must be applied to damp surfaces. Lime plaster, porous stone and brick must be thoroughly moistened with a mist spray prior to application.
Application
Pure Limewash must be thoroughly mixed, preferably with a mechanical whisk to ensure even distribution of pigments and ingredients immediately before and during use. Limewashing can be messy, and floors etc. should be protected. Protective clothing and goggles must be worn and great care taken especially when limewashing ceilings. Surfaces must be damp. Porous pre-wetted surfaces will need mist-spraying during application to ensure that the limewash does not dry too quickly. Apply the limewash to the damp surface using a brush, not a roller, working it into any cracks. It is applied in thin coats; limewash appears transparent on application and care must be taken to avoid thick build-up which will craze on drying out and may obscure detail. Normally, three coats are required, occasionally more. Each coat must be protected from drying too quickly by regular mist-spraying, and a reasonable time (normally at least 24 hours) allowed between coats. It is important to re-moisten the previous coat with a fine mist spray prior to the application of the next coat.

Casein Bound Limewash (RJ3.02) adheres better to less porous surfaces and is less likely to brush off on clothes, and is therefore often used internally. Coloured limewashes are made using natural earth pigments. Variations due to these pigments and differing porosity of surfaces are inevitable. Much of the charm of a traditional finish is its lack of uniformity with subtle variations of colour and tone.
Preparation
Pure Limewash requires a surface which is firm, clean, and porous. It can be applied to new lime putty plaster before it has fully dried and carbonated as the permeable nature of a limewash permits carbonation of the plaster beneath to continue. Pure Limewash can be applied to previously limewash painted surfaces, but cannot be applied to other paint types. Previously limewashed surfaces should be thoroughly brushed and washed with a wet sponge to remove dust, dirt and all loose chalky material that is removed readily. Any algae or mould must be treated with an algaecide or fungicide and thoroughly washed off with clean water. Do not use proprietary fungicides containing water repellents. Make good and fill with a compatible filler. Pure Limewash must be applied to damp surfaces. Lime plaster, porous stone and brick must be thoroughly moistened with a mist spray prior to application.
Application
Pure Limewash must be thoroughly mixed, preferably with a mechanical whisk to ensure even distribution of pigments and ingredients immediately before and during use. Limewashing can be messy, and floors etc. should be protected. Protective clothing and goggles must be worn and great care taken especially when limewashing ceilings. Surfaces must be damp. Porous pre-wetted surfaces will need mist-spraying during application to ensure that the limewash does not dry too quickly. Apply the limewash to the damp surface using a brush, not a roller, working it into any cracks. It is applied in thin coats; limewash appears transparent on application and care must be taken to avoid thick build-up which will craze on drying out and may obscure detail. Normally, three coats are required, occasionally more. Each coat must be protected from drying too quickly by regular mist-spraying, and a reasonable time (normally at least 24 hours) allowed between coats. It is important to re-moisten the previous coat with a fine mist spray prior to the application of the next coat.

Environmental Considerations
Limewashes are made with natural sustainable ingredients. They contain no VOCs, no petrochemical based ingredients, and no lead. Water-based. All Rose of Jericho paints comply with the latest environmental legislation. This product contains both a fungicide and an algaecide.
Usage/Purpose
Approx. 6m²/litre/coat depending on texture and porosity of surface.
Shelf Life
At least 3 months shelf life when kept cool in sealed containers. Casein limewash must be stored in a cool frost-free environment, away from heat and direct sunlight. Tins and tubs must not be kept in the van in sunny weather and must be moved to a cool/cold environment. Protect from heat and frost
Finish
Matt surface coating. Colours are darker in tone when wet.
Observations
Casein Limewash is an exterior grade limewash but is also often used internally due to its superior adhesion properties and as it is less likely to brush off on clothes than Pure Limewash. It can be used on less porous surfaces including hydraulic lime based plasters and renders, although sample trials should always be carried out to assess compatibility with substrate. Casein limewash is more compatible with ‘open-textured’ wood or sponge floated plaster and render surfaces than tight smooth steel-trowel polished surfaces. Coloured limewash is made using natural powder pigments. Variations due to these pigments and differing porosity of surfaces are inevitable. Much of the charm of a traditional finish is its lack of uniformity with subtle variations of colour and tone.

Application
Ensure limewash is within shelf-life period. Casein Limewash must be thoroughly mixed, preferably with a mechanical whisk, to ensure even distribution of pigments and ingredients immediately before and during use as it readily settles out. Protective clothing and goggles must be worn and great care taken especially when limewashing ceilings. Surfaces must be damp. Porous pre-wetted surfaces may need additional mist-spraying during application to ensure that the limewash does not dry too quickly. Casein limewash must not be applied to sunlit surfaces, and application must be delayed until the wall is in the shade. Apply the limewash to the damp surface using a brush, not a roller, working it into any cracks. It is applied in thin coats - limewash appears transparent on application and care must be taken to avoid thick build-up that will craze on drying out and may obscure detail.

Usage/Purpose
Tallow Bound Limewash is an exterior grade limewash used for the decoration of lime renders, porous building materials, and previously tallow-limewashed surfaces in the more exposed locations. Tallow Bound Limewash is normally preferred on less porous surfaces.
Coverage
Approx. 4 –5 m²/litre/coat depending upon texture and porosity of surface.
Shelf Life
The tallow tends to coagulate and Tallow Bound Limewash should be used within one week of manufacture. Tallow Bound Limewash must be stored in a cool frost-free environment, away from heat and direct sunlight. Tins and tubs must not be kept in the van in sunny weather and must be moved to a cool or cold environment.
Finish
Matt surface coating. Colours are darker in tone when wet.
Observations
Less permeable than both Pure Limewash (RJ3.01) and Casein Bound Limewash (RJ3.02). Coarse textured wood or sponge floated surfaces are far preferable to smooth steel-trowel polished surfaces. Sample trials should always be carried out to assess compatibility with substrate. Coloured limewash is made using natural powder pigments. Colour and tone variations due to these pigments and differing porosity of surfaces are inevitable. Much of the charm of a traditional finish is its lack of uniformity with subtle variations of colour and tone.
Preparation
Tallow Bound Limewash requires a surface that is firm, clean, and porous. It can be applied to new lime render before it has carbonated, but Tallow Bound Limewash is less permeable than Pure or Casein Bound Limewash and will slow the rate of carbonation of the render beneath. Tallow Bound Limewash can be applied to previously tallow-limewash painted surfaces, but not to other paint types. Sample trials should be undertaken. Previously limewashed surfaces should be thoroughly brushed and washed with a wet sponge to remove dust, dirt and all loose, chalky material that is removed readily. All mould and algae must be treated with a fungicidal wash that includes an algaecide and thoroughly washed off with clean water. Do not use fungicides containing water repellents. Make good and fill with a compatible material/filler. Tallow Bound Limewash should be applied to damp surfaces. Lime plaster and render, porous stone and brick must be thoroughly moistened with a mist spray prior to application.

It is normal to mist-spray the previous coat prior to the application of the next coat. Limewashing can be messy, and full protection must be provided to all vulnerable adjacent surfaces. In particular, any oak or oak flooring must be fully protected, as the alkali lime permanently stains hardwoods. Newly applied exterior limewash must be fully protected from rain, wind, direct sunlight, frost etc until it has cured and carbonated (normally about 4 weeks).

Environmental Considerations
Contains no added lead. Water-based. Actual VOC content <5g>
Usage/Purpose
To be used for the decoration of walls and ceilings. For interior use only. Porous surfaces may need priming with a diluted mist-coat of permeable emulsion normally thinned with 10% water prior to the application of further full coats. Permeable Matt Emulsion is not as wipeable as modern vinyl emulsion paints.
Coverage
12-14 m²/litre/coat on smooth surface of average porosity.
Finish
Matt, chalky finish with subtle variations in colour and tone. All Rose of Jericho paints are made using powder pigments. Colour and tone variations due to these pigments and differing porosity of surfaces are inevitable. The intention is that our emulsion paints possess some of the lack of uniformity and charm of a traditional limewash or distemper paint finish.
Observations
Do not apply in temperatures below 5C and avoid using during periods of high humidity. Do not use on surfaces previously painted with oil-based paints, limewashes or distempers.
Preparation
All surfaces should be sound, clean, dry, and free from dirt, oil, grease or other contamination. Permeable Matt Emulsion can be applied to lining paper and previously emulsion painted surfaces. Newly plastered surfaces should be dry prior to application. Porous surfaces should be primed with a mist coat of paint diluted with up to 10% water. Any algae or mould must be treated with a fungicide and making good and filling should be carried out with a material appropriate to the substrate It is recommended that a trial is carried out to ensure that the surface is suitable for application.
Application
Stir well before use. Permeable Matt Emulsion is best applied by brush. Two full coats recommended. Thinning should not be necessary for primed or previously painted surfaces. Very porous surfaces may benefit from a light mist-spraying immediately prior to application. Only if absolutely necessary dilute by no more than 10% water and whisk thoroughly. Brushes and equipment should be cleaned with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Porous surfaces may need priming with a mist coat of vinyl matt emulsion thinned with up to 10% water prior to the application of further coats. Rose of Jericho Vinyl Matt Emulsion is not as wipeable as modern vinyl emulsion paints.
Coverage
12-14 m²/ litre/coat on smooth surface of average porosity.
Finish
Matt, chalky finish with subtle variations in colour and tone. All Rose of Jericho paints are made using powder pigments. Colour and tone variations due to these pigments and differing porosity of surfaces are inevitable. The intention is that our emulsion paints possess some of the lack of uniformity and charm of a traditional limewash or distemper paint finish.
Preparation
All surfaces should be sound, clean, dry, and free from dirt, oil, grease or other contamination. Vinyl Matt Emulsion can be applied to lining paper and previously emulsion painted surfaces. Porous surfaces should be primed with a mist coat of paint diluted with up to 10% water. Any algae or mould must be treated with a fungicide and making good and filling should be carried out with a material appropriate to the substrate. It is recommended that a trial be carried out to ensure that the surface is suitable for application.
Application
Stir well before use. Vinyl Matt Emulsion is best applied by brush. Two full coats recommended. Thinning is not normally necessary for primed or previously painted surfaces. Coverage. 12-14 m2/ litre/coat on smooth surface of average porosity. Brushes and equipment should be cleaned with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
