Hi Bill
Thanks for pasting this comment.

Hmm, you've given me cause for concern. In 1985 I painted a 4 foot by 3 foot portrait of a young girl sitting on the back of a yacht with the sea as a background. Of course Damar Varnish was recommended as the varnish of choice at the time and I just last week decided it looked somewhat yellowed and thought perhaps I should clean and revarnish.it.

After seeing your skinned painting, I'm thinking I will be repainting as well. What was to be a little job looks like it will be a major one.
Fortunately, I didn't like the smell of damar too much so I haven't used it on anything else.

I'm thinking I might be better off just redoing it from the beginning and taking this one to the dump..
