Eugene Holtier Varnish, made from finest colophony and cold pressed linseed oil (50-50 by weight), is rich in color and transparent. This varnish contains no solvents, catalysts or pigments. It is extremely transparent yet rich in color. The varnish is medium thick but can be easily spread and is not tacky. The brown color is very intense and only a few coats are needed for a rich color. The clear varnish can be mixed to change the intensity or can be used as a final coat. If desired, pigments or oil painting colors can be used with Eugene Holtier varnish. Drying requires UV and is only 3-4 hours in intense sun or overnight in the UV box. Available in brown and clear in 50ml bottles. One bottle will varnish 4-5 violins or 1 cello. Bottle contains 50 ml of varnish. Please download USAGE GUIDELINES here.
