Wiping
Varnish
It doesn’t take a chemist to mix wiping varnish. You’ll know exactly
what you’re getting, and save a little money in the process.
Mixing your own wiping varnish offers a couple of nice
advantages. First, you can be certain that the product
you’re using is a true wiping varnish, not an oil/varnish
imposter. Second, it’s a good way to save a little money.
You can avoid paying a high price for a product that con-
tains a large amount of inexpensive thinner.
Another reason to make your own wiping varnish is
that there’s basically nothing to it. My recipe simply calls
for two parts varnish and three parts mineral spirits (paint
thinner), by volume. I combine the two in a glass jar and
then stir until the color is consistent.
Any type of oil-based varnish will work but I prefer
satin or semi-gloss polyurethane. Since, the film created by
a wiping varnish is generally pretty thin, a durable poly
varnish will give you an extra measure of protection.
One final note. Varnishes can vary by type and brand
and they’ll have slightly different consistencies. So don’t
be afraid to tinker with the proportions until you have a
wiping varnish mix that works well for you.
