What is the effect of using Liquin to help accelerate the drying of quality oil paints over a long period?

Are there any ill effects or is Liquin time tested now?What is the effect of using Liquin to help accelerate the drying of quality oil paints over a long period?
Check the ingredients of your paints and avoid zinc. Delamination has been a problem. Liquin is alkyd based and is incompatible with zinc. W%26amp;N does not use zinc in their alkyd paint line.





Do not add too much. It can get slippery. People have a tendency to dip into mediums like they are dipping into water using watercolor paint. Think of the least amount and preferably use less than that. The benefit is reached and more invites trouble.





A better alternative to Liquin is M Graham's Walnut Alkyd Medium.

I don't believe there is any question about any bad long term effects of Liquin. It has been used for enough years now and the chemical compatibility with oil paints should be no problem.
