I have been down this road. It started with a remark about the toxic effects of Liquin. I had been having headaches, so picked up various Gamlin mediums, Neo Meg, Galkyd Lite, etc.. None of these have worked for me. They are much too tacky, and don't handle in a way that is compatable with the qualities I adore in oils.

SO...I'm back to Liquin. I am being more diligent about ventilation.

Sennelier's Turner Transparent Medium in now on my table. I've used in a little, and it feels GREAT, but dries slow, and it must be ABOSULTELY dry before glazing again or it will roll up like tapioca.
