Pale Amber Varnish

Amber, pale and transparent, 6 pounds; fuse, add hot clarified linseed oil, 2 gallons; boil till it strings strongly, cool a little, and add oil of turpentine, 4 gallons. Pale as copal varnish; soon becomes very hard, and is the most durable of oil varnishes; but requires time before it is fit for polishing. When wanted to dry and harden quicker, drying oil may be substituted for linseed, or dryers may be added during the boiling.
