Hello all
i was interested in this discussion as have just literally begun to varnish using the Gamvar today.
I see that oiling out may be a good idea before varnishing - would everyone suggest walnut oil and how long would you then wait before varnishing. This is all a bit of a mine field 😅
thanks in advance and I am new on here !

There are quite a few previous posts discussing this subject that may be helpful too.
Just put gamer varnish in the search box.
Heres a link that talks about it. I have not tried this yet but plan to do so. Leaving the oiled out area to dry for a day or two before varnishing.

as @tassieguy mentioned, the varnishing precess will bring the colours backe to life anyhow.
