I have given up all alkd resins. They destroy my brushes and I have since discovered that they yellow and darken. The fake flake is a poor sustitute IMHO. I tried and hated it. Lead isn't so bad if you don't suck your fingers or inhale lead dust. Just wash hands frequently and use rubber gloves for cleanup. Lead can't be absorbed through skin. It's harmful only if ingested. Microwave ovens are far more problematic, but thats another post.
The longer drying time of oils is what makes them teriffic.
