Raymond Smith Juried Member Joined: Feb 2006 Location: Hoboken, NJ Posts: 4	Gloss varnishing without glare I've heard of an varnishing technique called 'museum finish' which is a clear gloss finish that won't matte down dark colors. I suspect it's a way of slightly abrading the dried varnish so that it doesn't reflect the light as strongly. I intend to use Gamblin varnish, and would rather not add beeswax to matte it down, as I suspect it will cloud any dark tones. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks!
