Nope! :)
I certainly respect Virgil's opinion and knowledge - not to mention his respected position in this community.
However, I am still standing by my positions and beliefs expressed here. Sadly, none of us will be alive when this discussion is resolved by our paintings and their reactions to time.
I will close with a couple of final things to think about - things that concern me as I read your posts.
Gamblin's Neo-Meglip is brand new on the market.
1. What are its exact ingredients - do you really know?
2. Do you feel comfortable painting with a completely new medium if you don't know exactly what is in it?
Doubtless, this product is some sort of alkyd mixture, but beyond that what are its exact ingredients? What are those ingredients going to do to your paintings over time - not to mention your concerns about health?
Not to offend anyone here, but to me it is 6 of one, half-dozen of another. The difference I see is that I know exactly what I am painting with and the risks associated with it.
Forewarned is forearmed as you said...
