amazingkevin Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Anyone here use Japan Drier? Someone on a Scroll Saw facebook group I'm on recommended it with BLO. It's sole purpose is to make oils dry faster? I used it in my airbrush when painting windows so the paint would dry fast and not run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Haven't used it, but that's what the mineral spirits in the BLO/MS mix is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Never heard of it. Might have to look into it for learning purposes. I know adding certain things like MS ith poly will help it dry quicker, but you need to apply extra coats for the protecting on furniture. Does this work on the same principle.?

Dan Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Never heard of it but this is what Wikipedia has to say: Japan drier is a common lay term and generic product name for any oil drying agent that can be mixed with drying oils such as boiled linseed oil and alkyd resin paints to speed up "drying". The name refers to "japanning", a term for the use of drying oils as an imitation or substitution for urushiol based Japanese lacquer. Dan, sounds like you are right on the money.
