Damar Medium Eco-House Warehouse Only
This heavy resin-oil painting medium contains damar resin and linseed stand oil as binders. The main difference from the traditional 1:1:1 formula is the use of the mild Eco-House solvent system instead of turpentine and the addition of lead-free driers (cobalt-zirconium-calcium octoates), which reduce the drying time substantially. The damar resin adds brilliance and luminosity to colors and mechanical hardness to the paint coat. The linseed stand oil adds elasticity and moisture resistance to the paint coat. It improves flow and leveling of paints. It has less of a tendency to yellow than plain linseed oil.

Natural Orange Terpene Solvent Eco-House Warehouse Only
Natural Orange Terpene Solvent is a potent solvent that can be a full-fledged substitute for turpentine, since it dissolves damar resin solids, hardened paint, etc. It is free of aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons. However, like many natural essential oils, it can have a sensitizing effect on sensitive artists if it is used too liberally. Therefore it should be used only in well-ventilated areas for those tasks where its use is unavoidable. Mixable with other Eco-House solvents in any desired ratio.
