: It seems to be thinned stand oil with damar and thinner. It handles much like Old Hollands painting medium which is very thin then becomes tacky.

If it is true as you say that this is simply the standard Ralph Mayer damar medium reissued as a secret 17th century formula then there is some deception in the ad since it says that no resins are added and that the oil is made according to an early recipe (modern stand oil i.e. oil polymerized at high temperature in the absence of oxygen is not mentioned in the early accounts nor is damar resin which came into use in the late 19th century)
