I don't think the stand oil will keep it open for several days like clove oil would. Clove oil if overdone will cause problems in the long run if that's an issue. You might want to try mixing stand oil with oil of spike lavender. Oil of spike is the slowest drying solvent and might prove sufficient for your needs. I like to paint over my previous days efforts so slow drying is not my forte.
