What is pigment stick?
R&F Pigment Sticks® are made with linseed oil, wax, and powdered pigment, but they dry as oil paint dries - which is to say, they oxidize. The oxygenated linseed oil forms long chains through a process called polymerization and becomes an irreversible dry film that is not soluble.
What is blending medium with drier?
Blending Medium with Drier is a version of our Blending Medium that contains a small amount of cobalt and manganese drier to help speed up drying times. The use of a drier can affect color, so the best use is to work colors on top of it after it has been laid down on the surface.
Why do you dry in ambient light?
Light is a factor. Drying in ambient light helps to speed up the drying time.
Does the substrate affect drying time?
The substrate affects drying time. An absorbent substrate (such as Ampersand Encausticbord or Ampersand Gessobord) will enable your painting to dry faster, as it will soak up some of the oil.
How long does Flex Seal last?
A: Flex Seal Liquid has a shelf life of 24 months when properly stored. If the can remains open for an extended period of time a skin may form on the surface. In order to avoid skinning over, remove the lid, use immediately and always replace the lid after each use.
