Hey buddy how do you take the old finish off a violin without damaging it and can I stain it after that with regular wood strain or do I have to use something else
are you joking ? this guy tells how violins are varnished ! a ground of 2-3 coats clear is applied , the VERY SUBTLE AND SPECIALIZED COLOR is added into the subsequent coats as this fellow says here ! DO NOT USE YOUR HOME DEPOT WOOD STAIN !!!! more detail @ Violin: Varnish & Final Setup ua-cam.com/video/LpZ8I5v6sBA/v-deo.html & Violin Varnish Color 1 ua-cam.com/video/1b-81XMLHEA/v-deo.html
where are you at? Are you anywhere near Texas? As of this moment my violin is almost completely raw wood i need it varnished. Thought I'd do this myself but I'm not too sure anymore!
In an other video you mentioned that the varnish is shellack, which can be bought as flakes, but here you mention all sorts of ingredients to making the varnish. I am really confused now.. Can I use the flake shellack to re-varnish a violin?
Dalton, Enjoyable demo even with the background distractions. Looking forward to an application demo. :)
That is so cool!

What is used to thin spirit varnish. I have some that needs a big of tweaking up because it's starting to get sticky.
thin it with alcohol
Denatured alcohol.
