Kenbo, have you ever used a product called Japan dryer? On cocobolo's thread, he talks about adding it to varnish to help it dry faster. Do you think it could be added to oil paint to make it dry faster?

Btw, if you haven't read that whole thread from the start, you should. I think you'd enjoy it.

I'm not sure if it would assist in the drying of the oil paints. I've never been one to mess with a good thing. Oil paints dry slowly for a reason. That is one of the joys of oil painting. The working time on a painting is huge. Plenty of time to fix your mistakes.

I asked cocobolo about it and he said his wife uses it sometimes for her oil paintings.

Luv2BCrafty, you could google 'Japan dryer uses' or Japan dryer for oil paints' or something like that.

Let us know what you find out.

Liquin (used as a medium) will help speed up the drying time. Don't use the Liquin by itself in a thin layer over the paint like a varnish though-it will cause cracking.
