many thanks , I like maroger too, but recently I've tested only linseed oil ( only some drops) It works!
Liquin light gel works well too, but speedy.
Can we see your new big stretched canvas?
(but please, the painted one... LOL

@Carol
Have you ever tested sunthickened oil mixed with linseed oil?
what about balsams or beeswax in oil? I guess they havent fumes or even toxic ingredients. Balsams (like Canada or Venetian Turp) produces an enamel-like satin surface and drying not so rapidly as Maroger or Liquin does. It prevents sinking in too. And you can control it better by mixing ratio.
