I usually use walnut oil, which has a thinner texture and spreads more easily than other drying oils. Most important is to use a VERY THIN layer. I use a makeup sponge to remove excess oil from the surface. I use oiling out instead of retouch varnish when I going to be adding another layer of paint.Laurel Alanna McBrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485623472049393176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24724375.post-70903481546404865592012-09-06T14:25:21.770-04:002012-09-06T14:25:21.770-04:00Hello Laurel,
