Spirit varnish

Spirit varnish is a type of clear protective coating made primarily from natural resins dissolved in alcohol. It is used to finish and protect wooden surfaces, such as furniture and musical instruments, by providing a durable, glossy, or satin finish that enhances appearance. The alcohol base allows the varnish to dry quickly and deeply penetrate the wood, forming a strong bond. Spirit varnish is appreciated for its clarity, ease of application, and traditional aesthetic, often favored in fine craftsmanship and restoration work. Its quick drying and smooth finish make it a popular choice among artisans and woodworkers.
