Siccative

6,00 €

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.
