Accelerate the drying time of your painting with this clear and colorless colloidal oil painting medium. Grumbacher ZEC Medium maintains the consistency and hue of the colors and holds any desired texture.   In normal applications, paintings dry to the touch in 4&nbsp;to 6&nbsp;hours. ZEC should be diluted with Pure Gum Spirits of Turpentine or Grumtine only. It is not compatible with petroleum solvents, paint thinners, or odorless paint thinners. Mixtures of ZEC in excess of  1:1  will result in a brittle, dry paint film.

Grumbacher Cobalt Drier is the only siccative that has been scientifically proven to be the least harmful to use for fine art painting. Cobalt Drier speeds drying of oil colors and oil painting mediums.   Because it is extremely strong, Cobalt Drier should be used sparingly by applying it in drops. It should not be mixed directly into oil paints, but first mixed into an oil painting medium, which can then be added to the paint. Cobalt Drier should always be tested before using it in a painting.

For hundreds of years the world has marveled at the works of art created by the &quot;Old Masters&quot; during the Renaissance. Not only did their achievements arise from training and talent, but also from the techniques they used in preparing their materials. It wasn&rsquo;t until the 20th century that some of these formulas were rediscovered.   Grumbacher has continued this tradition in the manufacture of its painting mediums, by assuring that the original paint attributes are enhanced, not compromised, by their use. Grumbacher mediums thicken or thin paints without harming their adhesive, binding, or film-forming qualities, and allow artists to achieve myriad effects such as increased flow and rapid or slow drying. They also have been proven to guard against yellowing and cracking over the course of many generations.
