Zest-it Brush Cleaner can be used to make a standard “5 lb cut” varnish and dilute it down to your required strength. However we would advise using the same diluent for dilution as mixing solvents could cause your varnish to go cloudy.
Use it to make a medium by mixing with Linseed Stand Oil and Cold Pressed Linseed Oil. Linseed oils are very viscous and it takes a decent amount of ‘agitation’ for the two products to mix together thoroughly.
Painting mediums can be a personal ‘thing’ and the ratio of the mix is not fixed. If you are unsure, as a suggestion, try a 50/50 mix and adjust the proportions from there.
