This reliable favorite, Winsor & Newton painting medium. Liquin Original halves the drying time of oil color and reduces brush stroke retention (touch dry in 1-6 days depending on color & film thickness). Creates a smooth, gel-like paint film that is easier to work with. Allows the paint to dry faster and aids working with multiple layers. Resists yellowing. Not suitable as a varnish or final coat. Liquin Original improves the flow of oil and alkyd colors for smooth brushwork, subtle blending or fine detail. It mixes easily with a brush and flows readily. It also increases translucency, making it ideal for thin glazing. Liquin is a flammable, translucent gel that quickly dries to a virtually non-yellowing film.
