Virgil, what's the downside of using alkyds as a varnish? If they're non-yellowing they would never need to be removed, right? Gamblin recommends using that 50/50 Galkyd Lite/OMS mixture as a retouch varnish. What if, after doing that, the painting then had sufficient overall gloss that it didn't need a final varnish?
