Art Spectrum - Stand Linseed Oil - 100ml

Art Spectrum Stand Oil is manufactured by heating a pure refined linseed oil, this heavy oil wets pigments well. Stand oil is linseed oil that has been polymerized by heating. It is thicker than cold pressed or alkalai refined oils, and has almost no tendency to yellow. It is useful for glazing, and helps to eliminate brush marks. The Oil gives a smooth, enamel-like finish and has a resistance to yellowing and is slow drying. Paler, more viscous oil than refined linseed oil Gives tough elastic finish Mix with solvent or white spirit to help colour flow and reduce brush marks Is made by heating without air at very high temperatures. This partly polymerises the oil, making thicker in consistency yet maintaining a smoothness that allows it to level brush marks and be the ideal component in a glaze medium. can be used in Impasto techniques knowing that the paint will not wrinkle and it will dry in a more stable manner than when just applying the colour thicker or with more regular linseed oil added to it. Yellows less than refined linseed oil and is also slower drying.
