Natural Pigments

I've used Spike oil to make violin varnish, but my wife hates the smell of turpentine. I think turpentine works great, and like the smell. So I bought the Spike. She went in the basement the next day after I used some, and said it smells so good down there. I agree, and it works well too. I really don't like the smell of OMS at all. Odorless? I don't think so. Clean brushes, loose paint for underpainting, good smell.

Always a great company to order from, good selection, good prices and rewards system. The website gets a little fussy on the computer screen with the dropdown menus, but not a deal breaker ;)

Well packaged with care. Arrived fast

easy to navigate website and shopping overall was a pleasure

Just what I needed! I like the firm, natural Ox bristles for loose strokes, with some extra bounce due to the length. Not as firm as hog hair, but stiffer than mongoose.
