Is this another magic varnish myth? Varnish is another formulation of shellac. Claiming that shellac in one form or another is more of a moisture barrier than lacquer causes some incredulity. I'm not chemist or (Ron N could come up with a better made-up word here) guru but I've seem no difference in tuning between varnished boards and lacquered boards. Maybe it is because the boards I see are reconditioned with varnish on the bottoms and lacquer on the tops. Finish Hybrids. Maybe the vessel which holds this seed this thought has a fisher. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
