Hammerl Spirit Varnish la, 90ml
JOHA ® Spirit Varnish IA is our most used spirit varnish, which has been tested thousands of times and is produced according to an old, traditional recipe. It dries rapidly , elastic and provides an attractive rich sheen. Through the use of valuable resins, this coating has a very good colour tone reproduction.
Spirit varnish has always been the most commonly used for stringed instruments. The fast drying time allows a daily coating. The coating must be applied quickly, however, in order to prevent the varnish from clouding, especially on colour varnish. Every coat must be thoroughly dried before the next coat is applied in order to prevent cracks from materializing later. (Press hard on the varnish with your thumb for a few seconds. If it fails to make a print in the varnish then you can apply the next coat ). Spirit varnish can be smoothed well with pumice-stone or rottenstone and polished with an appropriate polish. 90 ml will varnish approximately 1-2 violins.
Ethyl Alcohol or Denatured Alcohol are good options for thinning and clean up.
NOTE: The JOHA Amber varnish does not contain amber resin (amber refers to the colour).
