Fully cured at 6–12 months. Auckland winter humidity adds 20–40% to all drying times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat surface do I paint on?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways paint on a primed surface — stretched canvas, canvas board, or gesso-primed wood. Raw canvas or paper will rot from the linseed oil over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the \"fat over lean\" rule?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach layer must be \"fatter\" (more oil-rich) than the layer below. Start with thin paint and a tiny bit of medium; add more oil medium as you build layers. Otherwise the top dries first, the bottom keeps shrinking, and the painting cracks within a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use Mont Marte oils with water?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot these — Mont Marte Premium Oils are traditional oil-based and need linseed oil or mineral spirits as a medium. For water-cleanup, look at the Mont Marte H2O Oil Paint range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need solvents to clean brushes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes for traditional oils — odourless mineral spirits work. Wipe excess paint on paper towel, swirl in solvent until paint releases, then wash with brush soap or Sunlight dish soap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo you ship NZ-wide?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — from Manukau, Auckland. Tracked courier 1–3 business days. Free NZ shipping over $75.
