Thanks Scott.

So today's varnishes, not being as strong as that previously used, merely will require less rubbing for removal, thus sparing the upper glazed layers? I've noticed my Rambrandt Permenant Madder seems quite 'fragile' when retouch varnish is applied (I've lifted it off when retouching after a month drying), so I was thinking cleaning down the road would take it right off. Again, as you can see from my newest avatar, I still have quite a ways to go before I need to worry about this kind of thing. But you never know.

I have the Gamblin kit, but haven't used it yet. So far, I have only retouch varnished (Damar/Turps) the few things I want to save or have sold/given away, but I have two semi-keepers coming due for a final varnish any time now.

Thanks again ...

Minh
