I think I have already mentioned my method here, it's the following:
1 - my oil varnish diluted in turpentine, 2 coats;
2 - one coat of "acqua di colla", that is, diluted, thin hide glue with some alum. This thin glue, when cold, will form quite a weak gelatin.
3 - My oil varnish (2 parts oil, one part colophony, one part mastic) in a paste with fine pumice that I rub and burnish into the wood (no residue of the past must be left in the wood surface) , immediatly followed by a thin coat of my oil varnish applied with my fingers.
After that the wood will be completely sealed and I apply 3 coats of highly coloured oil varnish.

I warm some water, 100 ml, put some glue (I don't weigt) and some alum (like a pinch of salt, the alum) and let it dissolve and cool a bit (I don't like to apply it hot).
When dry, you will see no glue residue over the wood, it will penetrate entirely in the wood. |
Thanks Manfio!!!
