not sure why you encourage ppl to ask questions, but not answering them?

QUESTION: How long will oiling out keep the colors looking fresh? Does it need to be re-applied anytime before the painting has cured enough for varnishing? 10/15/22

[@armandogavilan1815]

once should be enough but if you see some colors still sunked in go again, very very little oil. and wait 6 months if thin 1 year if it has impasto before varnish.

thank you for this video. how long does the 1:1 medium last in a jar?

[@rhyannonp8231]

if you already use a "alkyd" from another brand, is it the same thing as galkyd? and would you do the same thing? would you add a layer of galkyd on top of alkyd? how many layers can you do

[@yanagolikova9484]

Is it ok to use this technique if I used different medium while painting the piece. Like neo megilp by gamblin or oleogel by rublev? Thank you

[@amirnourouzi6664]

it was very nice thanks I saw one video artist during painting used Oiling Out and it was frash and wet work so how is possible and which oil must use that condition for Oiling Out thanks

[@tombelt9011]

I oiled out with a 50/50 mix of Galkyd and Gamsol, a very thin coat. The painting itself was 6 months dry. It looks beautiful now, but 12 days after oiling out it's still slightly tacky to the touch, which can't be right. Ideas?

[@todayipaint4667]

You forgot to wipe it off...

[@jancregan4948]

So the gamsol mineral spirits will not hurt the painting?

[@plwarnke]

Can Gamblin gel be used to oil out a painting?

[@barbarasiqueira1362]

Hi, can I oil out a painting more than once?

[@SunShineCreations1]

Can Galkyd Lite be used in place of the regular Galkyd? After watching your video, I was so excited to try this but somehow I ordered Galkyd Lite. I love the idea of this process. As you said, it's so much better than using a re-touch varnish. I can't seem to find any info on the differences in the two products so I really hope you can answer my question. Thanks!

[@JacksonsArtSupplies]

Hi there, yes, Galkyd Lite can be used for oiling-out. The only difference between Galkyd vs. Galkyd Lite is solvent content. Galkyd Lite has slightly more Gamsol in its formula. The following are all appropriate oiling-out mixtures. Galkyd & Galkyd Lite mixtures are especially popular due to their fast-drying properties. Mixtures with Refined Linseed or Solvent-Free Fluid will take longer to dry, on average 1-2 weeks. Meanwhile, mixtures with Galkyd or Galkyd Lite take 2-3 days on average. Galkyd/Gamsol, 1:1 Galkyd Lite/Gamsol, 3:2 Refined Linseed/Gamsol, 1:3 Solvent-Free Fluid/Gamsol 1:3

[@Mlefebre]

Jackson's Art what about galkyd gel?

[@dmp2461]

​@@JacksonsArtSuppliesSo can I use Safflower oil and Gamsol?

[@shellyomahony3304]

Can I use galkyd gel to do the liking out ,? It's all I have and I need to get started tommorow.

[@fromthepeanutgallery1084]

Thanks for info. If oiling out with galkyd and gamsol, how long before a satin or gloss varnish can be applied?

[@allenvoss7977]

Great question!

[@richardleeclewell]

I would think 6 months
