Pébéo clarified poppyseed oil for oil paint 75 ml

Pébéo clarified poppyseed oil is an oil-paint binder extracted from black poppy seeds. It is especially suited to grinding light pigments into paint: the pale oil has low yellowing and enhances gloss. It dries more slowly than linseed oil. You receive one 75 ml glass bottle; pigments and mixing tools are sold separately.

For light colours and your own paint mixtures

Gradually add oil to a small, separate portion of pigment and grind it into an even paint. Assess handling and the dry result on a trial area before making a larger batch. The right amount of oil depends on the pigment; do not use a universal fixed ratio. If adding a drying agent, follow that product’s dosage and test the mixture first. This oil is not itself a drying accelerator.

Thinning and cleaning

Use a suitable mineral oil-paint thinner or turpentine for thinning or cleaning tools. Do not add water. Thinner is not included and has its own instructions and safety precautions. Choose poppyseed oil for light colours and low yellowing, not for guaranteed fast drying.

Safe use

Work with adequate ventilation, avoid eye contact and protect your eyes from splashes. Wear suitable gloves for prolonged or repeated skin contact and wash your hands after use. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children. Do not pour residues down drains; use the appropriate local waste collection. Also follow the safety instructions for pigments and any drying agents.
