Hi All,

It's been said in this thread that alcohol won't dissolve varnish. I
don't really know what I'm talking about here, but I'll throw out the
possibility that's not completely true. Some time ago, a speaker at a
PATINA meeting mentioned dissolving varnish with alcohol. No one stood
up at the time, but another guy and I cornered the speaker later and
questioned that statement. The speaker then said she was talking about
some type of varish which I didn't catch the name of. The other guy
seemed to recognize that name and agreed that alcohol would dissolve it,
so I didn't pursue it further. Am I ringing any bells here?

Best Wishes,
Bob
