Be careful using a drier additive. Using too much will cause the finish to not dry at all.

With todays, reformulated oil based finishes I would not use an additive unless I checked with the manufacturer. After all, the manufacturer wants the finish to work right so they optimize any additives in their own manufacturering process. Changing the mixture may not only create more VOC's but also may negatively affect the performance.
