Gamvar Satin
Posted by Loraine Mayne on November 10, 2019 at 3:16pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Hello,I understand that generally when using oil paint and cold wax you're supposed to mix wax to paint in a 30-70 to 50-50 ratio. If you are using home made paint made with walnut oil and pigment, do you need to change the proportions (as in, more…Continue
