Gamvar over Damar?
Hello,
I was about to varnish my first oil paintings, but then I saw this thread! I see the argument to use something like Gamvar instead, but I am hoping to quickly get a temporary varnish on a painting in order to show it and liven up the colors that dried dull. I bought some damar varnish for this purpose, intending to dilute it with turpentine.
Can Gamvar be diluted to use as a temporary varnish? Can I use the damar for the temporary varnish, and then use the Gamvar later as a final varnish?
