Talk:Oil drying agent

Merge proposal

The agents themselves are already in various pages such as basic zinc acetate and naphthenate, so I thought that it would make more sense to include the "oil drying agents" under "drying oil", since the concepts and closely related. i.e. one only discusses the agents if one discusses drying oils. Overall, the basic chemistry/technology is both kind of obscure (not in textbooks) but important.--Smokefoot (talk) 12:55, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Lacks mention of copal, long thought essential siccative in oil paints. A lot of misery over that in Angola. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.72.177.193 (talk) 21:09, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

I could not find any reliable reference that copal has any siccative effects. Copal containing drying painting products most probably contain unlabeled siccatives. Cacycle (talk) 21:30, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
