1This is the spirit-varnish so often seen upon the clear German violins.
3Colourless Spirit Varnish.—Dissolve 2 1/2 oz. picked orange lac in a pint of rectified alcohol, and boil well for a few minutes with 5 oz. of well burnt and recently heated animal charcoal. A small quantity of the solution should now be filtered, and if not colourless add more charcoal. When colourless press the liquor through a piece of silk, and filter through fine filtering paper. This varnish must be used in a room where the temperature is about 60 degrees Fahr. It does not chill or bloom, and dries in a few minutes.
