The cobalt drier, sold containing 6 or 12 percent cobalt as metal, is the most powerful drier used by coatings industry. It acts as an oxidation catalyst and is known as a top drier, drying the top of the film. Excessive amounts of cobalt drier will set up stresses and strains in the paint film that can result in wrinkling. Though purple in color, cobalt has low tinting strength and will not discolor a paint. 2, record 2, English, - cobalt%20drier

Film Quality. The film flexibility of oil paint has several consequences. Oil paint can be used on flexible supports such as canvas, whereas the more brittle films of the older paints require a rigid support, such as a wood panel or a plaster wall... Because of the oil's flexibility, heavier applications of oil paint do not crack, as do egg tempera or distemper colors. Therefore a greater range of textural effects, from thick to thin and from rough to smooth, becomes possible in the oil technique. The film flexibility of oil paint allows the building up of layers of paint, one over the other, permitting the artist to paint over parts of the picture, adding further subtlety or unifying the disparate elements in the painting. Oil paintings can become more complex than can pictures painted in older techniques, as the artist adds layer on layer of compositional modification. 1, record 7, English, - film%20flexibility
