Thanks, Virgil.

I have been oiling out with linseed, but in this cool, wet Seattle climate it can take literally weeks for the oil to dry enough for the painting to ship, even if the paint underneath is already dry. Then if it sinks in again, and I have to re-oil, that's another two weeks for drying. Meanwhile, deadlines are looming!

I tested the Galkyd Lite/OMS mixture for oiling out earlier this week and thankfully it's dry to the touch in two days.
