Regarding drying oils, I add a drop of Clove Oil to my palette while mixing my paints. I transfer my mixed paints to the Masterson Palette Box and store overnight in a refrigerator. I usually have 2 palettes going at once and today I used a palette that I mixed originally over a month ago. All colors are good except the white, which I don't add any clove oil to.

I do use odorless mineral spirits by Gamsol to give a final cleaning to my brushes before I use soap and water but I keep it in sealed containers to avoid the toxicity. I will look into those you mentioned, Marvin.
