How to make paint out of animal fat?

Question

I know that paint can be made from boiling animal fat and mixing it with pigments, but I can't find information on how the fat should be boiled, what method should be used and how long it should be boiled for. Does anyone know?

Answer 3

Yes I see where you going with this. I think if you boil it over night. I would put it in the oven at say 200 till it gets a thick surface. You may have to try a few times changing the temp up or down and maybe with different grease. I think bacon grease might come to the best surface. I think you will be able to use the thick surface stuff to mix pigment with.  good luck...
