Point

A point Michael hints at is that the solvents (restorers use to strip varnish) will remove many mediums and varnishes. The trick is to get the work very, dry before the final varnish is put on, thus this last layer is separate from the under layers and so (the final varnish only) will hopefully be removed without the other layers being attacked. Art books are unclear about this, aren't they?
