Homemade Megilp
Hi,
I have found out how to cook Black Oil without it being black.
The trick is to cook it with water. The water will prolong the cooking process and secure that the temperature don't overheat so that the oil becomes dark.
I attach two examples: the light is linseed oil cooked with litharge (lead) and water. When I use it I mix the oil with Mastix Varnish 1:1
The other (dark) is Black Oil with bees wax kept in a tube, don't need mixing. It is nice to use but miscolors the paint when used, though it stays that way and don't yellows later. It also adds the quality of flexibility to the paint.
The light black oil can be mixed with wax also, I guess.
