About six months ago the government banned large sales of oil paint in my area. Whether this is a good thing or bad I don’t know, maybe good environmentally but bad as far as the aesthetics of a finish. I called Kremlin today and asked them if one could run latex through the rig and they said yes. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this? Also has anyone ever made their own oil paint? I thought this may be a way around the ban and could also be used as a marketing tool. I’m not sure how crazy that thought is. I appreciate any input thanks.

All painters used to make their own paints.
Start by hanging out at the docks so you can buy up the freshest cod livers to render the oil out of them...

Something sounds a little fishy about that reply.
honestly, all those red barns and clapboarded houses in new England - cod liver oil and red ocher earth to make the paint
