Thank you, Pam, for your comment on my work. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, it's been hectic with teaching a workshop and moving to a new house and studio.
From the Internet:
Stand oil is Polymerized Oil
"Today artists regard the term 'Stand oil' as a poor descriptive but accepted term for polymerized oil. Heating drying oils and excluding oxygen, 250 to 300 degrees and up, will undergo this change. No oxidation of the oil occurs as in Sun Thickened Oil. The chemical structure of stand oil is identical to regular oil (in our case linseed oil).. the thickening process taking place without the harmful effects of exygen"
Too technical? Yes, don't get confused, or oxygen starved, or whatever. Buy it in any art supply store.
I hope this helps (?)
John
