Oil Mediums
There are five oil mediums in our range. Spectragel retains the body of the paint, accelerates drying and retains gloss. Matt Spectragel will do the same but will not increase gloss. Spectraflow increases flow, is quick drying but will not increase gloss. Alkaflow will thin oil paints, is quick drying and will give a smooth gloss finish. Linseed oil paste is an extender that will not increase gloss.

Spectragel Medium
Spectragel Medium is a thixotropic alkyd medium designed to mix with oil colours, retaining the body of the paint. Spectragel is a gloss medium and is quick drying. It is a clear medium based on a synthetic resin that accelerates drying of oil colours and improves their weather resistance. Ideal for glazing and extending colours while retaining gloss and structure of paint.

Spectraflow
Spectraflow is a free flowing, slightly thixotropic medium, alkyd based, which will not increase gloss when added to oil colours. It is quick drying.

Alkaflow
Alkaflow is a free flowing, alkyd based, gloss medium and may be used to thin oil paints. Alkaflow helps to remove brush strokes and give a smooth gloss finish. It is quick drying.

Linseed Oil Paste
Linseed Oil Paste is an almost transparent painting medium based on Refined Linseed Oil and Alumina. It is similar in consistency to Artists' Oil Colours in tubes. It does not promote quick drying and may be used to extend oil colours. Used in large ratios it is liable to increase yellowing and darkening of pale colours. Will not increase gloss.

Solution of Beeswax
Solution of Beeswax a solution of pure beeswax in white spirit required by some artists for mixing with oil colours to obtain soft sheen effects. Will retard drying.
