Recipe:
1 24oz tub of fat free cottage cheese
3/4 cup of hydrated lime
pigment of choice to adjust color
Rinse and drain the cottage cheese through a strainer to remove the whey, retaining the solids, creating a quark. place the lime in a container and add just enough water to make a paste, wetting all the lime solids. Add in your quark, and mix until dissolved. (I used a cheap Wal-Mart shake blender) Using your pigment solids make another paste and add slowly to the paint base until tinted as you desire. You can also use acrylic artist's paints as pigment. This dries and adheres to bare wood in about 1/2 hour. It cannot be removed even with paint stripper after 12 hours of curing.
Not for a shield but for a old vanity desk for my antique shop. But should work well for that purpose as well.
