Archival Oils Odourless Solvent has been a popular choice among Australian artists since its release in the 1980s, and now a new fast-drying version is available.

Key Features:

  • Fast Evaporating Formula: Dries approximately 16 times faster than the original and slightly quicker than turpentine.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal turpentine substitute, suitable for laying in and other applications where turpentine is typically used.
  • Quick Drying: Oil paints diluted with this solvent rapidly tack up as soon as it evaporates, offering a similar effect to turpentine.
  • Original Formula Option: The original Odourless Solvent allows oil paint to be blended throughout the day and usually dries by the following day.
  • Special Use: The original formula is suitable for 'oiling out,' whereas the Fast Evaporating version dries too quickly for this technique.

Benefits:

  • Low Odour & Toxicity: Both formulas use chemicals that are low in odour and toxicity, making them safer and healthier alternatives to traditional oil painting mediums and solvents.
  • Healthier Alternative: The Fast Evaporating version offers the same quick-drying properties as turpentine without the harmful effects of traditional solvents.
