Rublev Colours Sun-Thickened Walnut Oil 16oz
Rublev Colours Sun-Thickened Walnut Oil is made by exposing filtered, cold-pressed walnut oil to sunlight in shallow tanks covered with clear glass and exposed to the atmosphere for a period of three months. Exposure to sunlight thickens it. This walnut oil is naturally bleached to almost water white, so it can be used with palest colors and whites.
Use to make oil colors and thin oil colors. This oil is excellent for making and thinning whites and pale colors. Some woodworkers prefer walnut oil as a finish for implements that come in contact with food, such as cutting boards and wooden bowls because of its safety. People who formulate wood finish value walnut oil as an ingredient because of the edibility of both ingredients. The oil typically is combined with beeswax in a mixture of 1:2 oil to beeswax.
Use turpentine, spike oil, or mineral spirits as the solvent for oil painting mediums and for brush and studio clean-up.
For best results store in a cool, dry place tightly closed.
