Description
Any protective coating that contains a drying oil, such as Tung oil or Linseed oil. Some early resin-oil varnish recipes in the 12th century contained a resin, such as Sandarac, Amber, or Copal, dissolved in a boiled linseed oil. Oil varnishes dry by polymerization producing a tough, insoluble film. They have a dark initial color that darkens more with age. When used on oil paintings, they may cause cracking and wrinkling of the paint layers. Long-oil varnishes, such as Spar varnish, have a high proportion of Drying oil. Short-oil varnishes have a lower proportion.
Synonyms and Related Terms
