It has powerful fumes, a bit too much for my liking. what you are seeing as transparent is a few initial glazes of burnt sienna and aliz but they are pretty transparent pigments anyway even without the copal as you know.

One that I learned about on WC was an oil of spike mixture - lavender oil! Smelled great!

I tried liquin a few times but I don't think I need that, even better I only use turp now, and that's quite enough for me. I would say, don't get to excited with all the stuff available in the log run it's all about painting well. B.t.w. Those rolling thunders are just great, what a dynamic!
