Siccative

5,00 

OW Siccative is a balanced formulation of siccatives for luthiers who make or use their varnishes. Ready to add to linseed and walnut oils, traditional components of string instrument varnishes.

It provides homogeneous drying “from the bottom to the top” regardless of the thickness of the applied varnish coating. This helps develop and enhance the coating’s tenacity and suppleness, avoiding tensions and optimising the drying time to the utmost.

It is easy and fast to add to the varnish. OldWood varnishes have the siccative already incorporated.

The recommended dosage is 5ml or gr.  (1 ml equals approx . to 40 drops) of OW – Siccative per each 100 ml  or gr.  of oil in the varnish.

It is recommended that OW Siccative be added to the solvent used for viscosity adjustment. This guarantees a complete, fast, and effective dilution of the drier in the varnish.

It’s crucial to remember that total drying time depends on the quantity of oil included in the varnish, the film thickness, the environmental conditions of humidity and temperature, and the intensity of radiation type (solar vs UV).
