Also, I understand that Gamvar comes in a crystal form, can any all thumbed scientist make this work?

I'm quoting a post from 2003 I think, but I wanted to ask you, if I might... What was your negative experience with Damar, and have you taken up varnishing again, given the strings of advice?
I have an old commission on my easel (delivered to me yesterday) to be varnished, so I was reading up on the latest.
