Sticky situation

I am a big proponent of Gamblin Alkyd Mediums. That said I would never use either Galkyd Lite or Galkyd since they dry too fast. Galkyd slow dry has poppy oil added and is more to my liking. I find the Neo Megilp the best for my use and either of these last two more similar to Liquin in the way they handle.

When buying the Neo Megilp be careful the contents are not milky but more honey like for there was a bad batch erroneously released. I prefer the Neo Megilp to Liquin for many reasons, scent and toxicity being the most prevalent but I'm sure you could use the Liquin over the Galkyd Lite if you must.

Paint well.
