Hi, Suso.
It`s a great article. I came in this forum from https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Oil-Based-Varnish/. I have a question... may be two. If this varnish is elastic... I will use it for a wooden rod for an musical instrument called berimbau. So the rod wich will be bend like a bow, so I wondering if this varnish wouldn`t crank.
And the second qwestion - Am I understand corectly that in the artical you gave us two varnishes, and the thin one is apply after dryng the thick one?

I`m from Bulgaria. So I'm loocking for this products here for now...

Regards
Lyubo.

Nice job Lyubo, what are these? I'd say they're African musical instruments but I might be wrong.

Hi again, Suso.
May be becouse my english is not very good, but I could not understand how many time do you need to mix the products at 45 degrees Celsius... I mean how many time (may be minutes) you need to support this temperature for good mixing. Or you just heat the products to reach this temperature...
And also I was wandering about the ratio of the products in the mixture.

hello,
you just have to reach that temperature, after that you can put out the fire, mix and shake.
