Recipes for Fast-Drying Painting Mediums
A
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 part stand oil
- 1 part damar
B
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 part stand oil
- N.B. Egg yolk is one of the most ancient and permanent materials
Method
Wash your hands before you start the process. Separate the yoke from the white by gently passing the yoke from one hand to the other – discard the white. Place the yoke in a clean small jar. Puncture the yoke; mix stand oil in drop by drop stirring into emulsion vigorously.

Curious, if damar is used in a medium, how does this affect the paint film? And if you varnish once dry, is the varnish still able to be safely removed if sometime down the line it needs to be restored?

This is why there is a 6-month rule between dry paint and final varnish, I agree it is a vague rule.

I tried B today and am happy with the result. It’s essentially mayonnaise but for painting. May i also drip some rosemary oil or other essential oil too？
