Stand Oil

Definition:

Stand oil is a type of thick, highly refined linseed oil that is used in various applications, particularly in the art industry. It has a high polymer content, making it excellent for artists who prefer slow-drying mediums.

Usage:

1. As a Medium: Stand oil is commonly mixed with other oils and pigments to create oil paints that have a longer drying time, allowing artists to work on their artwork for longer periods.
2. Wood Finishing: Due to its durability and ability to enhance the natural beauty of wood, stand oil is used as a finishing agent for wooden surfaces, such as furniture and musical instruments.

Sample Sentences:

1. The artist applied a small amount of stand oil to her paint mix, resulting in a glossy surface on her artwork.
2. After finishing the wooden table, he applied a layer of stand oil to protect it from scratches and give it a rich, lustrous appearance.
