Oil varnish

Oil varnish is a protective coating made from natural or synthetic oils combined with resins and solvents. It forms a durable, glossy film on surfaces like wood, enhancing appearance and providing resistance to moisture, dirt, and wear. When applied, the oils seep into the material, nourishing it, while the resins harden to create a tough, protective layer. Oil varnish is valued for its warm, rich finish and ease of reapplication or repair. It’s commonly used on furniture, musical instruments, and other wooden items to preserve their beauty and extend their lifespan.
