I don't think, and correct me if Im wrong..that elaine meant to use the liquin as a Final varish..I think it was a suggestion as a way to acheive a more uniform luster while waiting the 6 mos....this was stemming from my previous question about varnishing oil paintings...could you read that and make some suggestions?...and do you think it would be ok to use the liquin to give a uniform sheen?... when a client comes to pick up their portrait, I tell them that in 6 mos to a year it will need a final coat of varnish..my dilemma is how do you get it to look nice and "finished" till then? TIA..mary
: I wait 6-8 months before final varnish, then use only a varnish of Damar in Turps as my over-coating. Simple and effective. Liquin as a final varnish? I don't think so.
