Recipes for Fast-Drying Painting Mediums

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?
