Langridge Stand Oil
Non-yellowing oil for use in all oil mediums.
Thick and honey-like oil, gives enamel-like qualities to paint.
Should be diluted with solvent. Dries to a tough flexible film.
Stand oil is manufactured by heating, in the absence of oxygen, linseed oil to approximately 570Ā° F.
The linseed oil polymerizes, that is, molecules of linseed link up to create long chains to create Stand Oil.
Constituents
Polymerised refined linseed oil (40 Poise)
Product Application
Langridge Stand Oil is diluted with Distilled Gum Turpentine or another appropriate artistsā solvent to produce oil mediums.
A unique quality of Stand Oil compared to all other natural artists drying oils is it is virtually non-yellowing. The process of polymerisation, however, makes Stand Oil thick and honey-like which cannot be used without the addition of artistsā solvent.
It is not suitable for milling oil colours due to its viscosity and the pH.
Stand Oil has a pH of approximately 6.5. Oil colours are best milled in drying oils with a higher acid level, such as Linseed Oil.
After 20-30 minutes of applying stand oil based mediums the surface will set-up to a tack that grabs any succeeding brush strokes. The wet, but tacky, paint surface can be readily painted into. This allows for a wet-in-wet technique with very controlled manipulation of paint including soft blending.
Stand Oil has pronounced leveling qualities. If a medium made with over 50% Stand Oil is added to oil colours the resulting paint film will exhibit an enamel finish with little or not physically raised brushmarks.
Because Stand Oil cannot be used without dilution, the proportion of oil to solvent determines whether it is a āfatā or āleanā medium. As a general rule it is considered a slow drying āfatā oil and care should be used when using as an āunderpainting mediumā.
Mediums made with Stand Oil as their primary oil dry to a tough flexible film with a gloss finish.
