There are several things you can do to help maintain alkyd resin mediums once the factory seal is removed:

 

  1. Make sure the cap is securely fastened and store the medium bottle UPSIDE DOWN. Our tests have shown that storage upside down creates the best vapor lock limiting air flow in and solvent evaporation out.
  2. Check the viscosity of your medium BEFORE EVERY USE by tipping the bottle. If the medium appears to have thickened even slightly, add a small amount of Gamsol and shake thoroughly until it is restored to its original consistency. Managing the viscosity of the medium from the moment it is opened will ensure the longest shelf life possible.
  3. If a larger size bottle of painting medium is drying out before you can use all of it, consider purchasing a smaller size next time.
  4. When decanting medium into a separate container, pour out only what you will use in a single painting session.
  5. Wipe the bottle threads clean after every pour.
  6. Gamblin bottle caps come with a liner- make sure this insert remains in the cap to ensure an airtight fit.
  7. Store painting mediums in daylight to maintain their lighter color. All drying oils and alkyd resin mediums will deepen in color when stored in the dark.
