    Question What is our equivalent of "Japan drier"

    Sorry but I searched and could find nothing on this.
    I have read in a recent Fine Woodworking mag a recipe for an oil based finish that includes a portion of Japan drier. I've done google and searches here but cannot find what it might be called in Australia if available. Can anyone shed some light on it for me please? Cheers.

    The drier for oil based paints is "terebine."

    Feast Watson still produce it.

    As Durwood said, though some poly in the oil mix does the same job.
