Make your oil paints dry faster with Sennelier Siccatif Blanc. This premium French drying medium accelerates drying time without the excessive yellowing commonly found in other driers. What it does: Significantly reduces drying time of oil paints from days to hours Maintains color brilliance with minimal yellowing effect Creates a more durable and flexible paint film Enables faster layering techniques without risking cracking Particularly effective with naturally slow-drying pigments like cadmiums, cobalts, and titanium white How to use it: Shake the bottle gently for 5-10 seconds before each use For standard oil paints: Add 1 drop of Siccatif Blanc to every pea-sized amount of paint (approximately 0.5ml) For thick impasto: Add 2 drops per pea-sized amount to ensure proper drying throughout For notoriously slow-drying colors (titanium white, cadmium red, cobalt blue, viridian): Add 1-2 drops per color Mix thoroughly with a clean palette knife for at least 30-45 seconds to distribute evenly Apply the paint in thin to medium layers (under 2mm thick) for optimal drying effect Allow 12-24 hours drying time before adding new layers depending on humidity and temperature Do not exceed 5% Siccatif Blanc in any mixture (roughly 3-4 drops per tablespoon of paint) Best results achieved in environments between 65-75°F (18-24°C) with 40-60% humidity Use only in underpainting and middle layers; avoid using in final glazes as it can affect long-term finish quality Clean brushes immediately after use with turpentine or mineral spirits Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources Use in a well-ventilated area, as the fumes contain volatile organic compounds For professional results, combine with Refined Linseed Oil for improved flow while maintaining accelerated drying properties.
