Description

Available in 60ml, 250ml and 500ml

Larch Turpentine is a highly viscous balsam, still sometimes called “Venice turpentine”. It is unique in that it is collected from the heart of the larch tree rather than the bark and is free from the abietic acid crystals which can discolour other turpentines. Recommended by Doerner as a non yellowing painting medium (used sparingly) to impart enamel like gloss. Used historically in making varnishes, though not recommended as a finishing varnish. Thickens further during storage.

A slow drying thixotropic balsam for use in mediums and varnishes. Pure resin from the Austrian Larch tree purified and slightly heated when decanted. Dilute with turpentine or place in warm water bath to obtain fluid consistency.
