Testing the efficacy of various paint siccative formulations
Started Aug. 27, 2025
Abstract or project description
Joaquin will be doing an experimental sweep across various conditions of paint siccatives to determine which formulations would perform optimally without deteriorating the paint itself. He is first doing a preliminary literature search to determine what formulations already exist, at what price points they exist, and how he might break ground on discovering new more accessible and easy to use siccative formulations. He will write a final research paper at the end of this process and submit to a journal.
