: questions for later)

: Is there questionable material in Mayer's chapter on chemistry?

: Except for my crazy '89-'90 copal days i had painted with just straight oil paints from the tube with a tad of turpentine and my paintings were equally difficult to manipulate at times because of this. Oil painting mediums in general are very new to me. Stuff is starting to sink in, but i'd like to know a little more about the chemistry-what's going on behind the scenes, WHAT & WHY. any book or article tips i'd be thankful for.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I don't know why but the beginning of my previous post, which appears in multiplicate, became unincluded and contained my initial question which was:

Is there a percentage or general rule of thumb concerning the amount of resin that can be safely added to oil to retain its adhesiveness or does this depend on what oil and/or which resin(s) are being used, or the application???

Should a retouch varnish contain or be mixed with turpentine???

Are the details of Ralph Mayer's information reliable concerning:

1> resins???

2> the mixture of
oils and resins
