Asking this in here as alkyds seem a cross between acrylics and oils!
Have any of you used these and, if so, is there a tip to stop the paints drying out on the palette so quickly. Paint I have mixed up has dried in a day - fine for what is on the canvas but not if I want to use the palette mix again. I currently have it in a stay-wet palette container, minus the reservoir paper/water, as I thought the cover would stop the air getting to the paint mix and drying it out but it still dries and I have to remix. Would keeping it in the fridge help as I do with acrylics, though the condensation would create water in the palette.
Help!!
