Excellent solvent for thinning Gamblin mediums and for general painting, including studio and brush cleanup. Flashpoint 145°F.
Galkyd is an alkyd resin painting medium that increases the fluidity of oil colors and speeds their drying time. Thin layers of oil colors are dry in 24 hours. The viscosity of Galkyd is similar to traditional painting mediums made from linseed stand oil. Galkyd levels brush strokes, creates a strong flexible paint film and leaves an enamel like glossy finish. Galkyd is ready to use. Thins with odorless mineral spirits. Painters can add up to 50% by volume odorless mineral spirits to change the viscosity of Galkyd for glazing. Galkyds are excellent glazing mediums.
Galkyd is made from alkyd resin, the polymerized oil of the 20th century. High viscosity alkyd resin was among the materials Jackson Pollack used to make his drip paintings. To make a similar mixture, use Galkyd 60% with oil colors 40%.
Alkyd resin painting mediums add binder (increase adhesion) and speed up drying. No more solvent than 50% by volume can be added to Galkyd without compromising its binder.
