Adding stand oil to a painting medium increases the glossiness of the paint film. I use retouch varnish (Mamieri) for presentation purposes. Gamblin, I have been told, says it's ok to use Gamvar after the painting is dry to the touch, but I would look into this if I were tempted to try it. At this point I just wait patiently for 6 mos. to a year.
