Description
Ideal for thin glazes, fine detail and smooth brush work. Mix with oil colour to increase translucency & flow. This product is made up of a blend of resins: stand linseed oil, damar resin, turpentine cobalt driers. Jackson's Glaze Medium has a slower drying than the Jackson's Fast Drying Medium.
It is is advised to store Jackson's Oil Medium at a stable temperature. Storage in an overly hot or cold environment will affect the consistency of the product.
Jackson's Glaze Medium should be quite a fluid medium. If you find it getting too thick, here is a good way to keep it workable:
Maintenance of Alkyd Mediums
Like all alkyd-based mediums, the introduction of air space in the bottle allows for solvent evaporation and drying - even with the lid closed. To compensate, add a little solvent of your choice to the bottle immediately after use and shake it well to maintain the desired thickness of the medium.
Rescuing Thickened Alkyd Medium
If your painting medium has thickened but is still fluid, add in a small amount of solvent and shake thoroughly. Continue adding more solvent and shaking until the medium is close to its original consistency. If a fluid alkyd painting medium has thickened to a gelled consistency, it will no longer help to add solvent - unfortunately it cannot be rescued.
