Violin Maude and Nicolo in their light cages. Maude, the darker violin with 10++ coats of Cochineal varnish is in the UV light. Nicolo with Balsam varnish #2 ground is in a full spectrum grow light cage. The balsam ground varnish goes into the cells and pores of the wood to reflect light, and protect the wood from other substances penetrating the cells. The full spectrum light looks cooler, but will be upgraded to UV lights for better tanning and resin curing. I get my varnishes from Joe Robson
