Hi, I'm looking for opinions about how Magister Varnish behaved over time. If anyone on the Maestronet Forum can share observations about the behavior and wear patterns of the Magister Varnish over time I would appreciate it. I ask if the type of wear would have any similarity to the Cremonese Varnish of 1700, we know that the fluorescence light was very similar. Another question would be about what you considered most positive in the result of the Sandarac Oil Varnish "Vernice Liquida" type, and whether you still consider it viable for current use. Thank you for attention, greetings.

I am looking for a spirit varnish recipe that does not contain shellac. I am a guitar maker. I usually French polish with a shellac based varnish that also contains other resins. For this instrument, however, I can’t use shellac due to the believes of my client (please don’t make this the focus of the conversation). I tried modifying a sandarac based recipe, but the varnish was easily scraped off. I also tried sandarac turpentine and elemi (in alcohol), with the same results.
