This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Building.

Sometimes things just aren't the right color for our needs.  Instead of getting some toxic paint from the big box store, let's make some linseed oil paint!

 
 

Here's one way you might do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Make your own linseed oil paint
  - Use it on something that is at least 10 square feet
  - All natural materials

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Recipe you are going to use
  - Ingredients
  - Linseed oil paint
  - Painting a surface
  - Finished painted surface

Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
