Gamblin Galkyd 500ml

Gamblin Galkyd Painting Medium is perfect for artists wanting to thin their oil colours. It increases the transparency of the colour and also provides gloss and has a fast drying time, thin layers will be touch dry in approximately 24 hours. 

Galkyd Painting Medium contains Gamblin Gamsol, there is a lesser amount in the standard Galkyd medium compared to Galkyd Lite, resulting in a thicker consistency. Artists can choose to dilute the Galkyd medium with additional gamsol and this is a recommended practice if you're underpainting or wanting to create fluid washes. The greater proportion of Galkyd used with oil paint will result in an enamel like finish, leveling brush strokes. 

Important Shelf Life Tip from Gamblin 
Store medium bottle UPSIDE-DOWN to prevent skinning over, congealing and solidification of this medium.

Alkyd resin dries first by solvent evaporation, then by oxidation. The introduction of air space into a newly opened bottle permits some solvent evaporation and drying – even with the cap tightly secured. As the medium is used over time, the air space in the bottle gets larger causing the remaining medium to dry out more quickly. Upside-down storage has shown that storage upside down creates the best vapor lock limiting air flow in and solvent evaporation out.
