Subject: varnish soundboard Hello List, Is there any problem with refinishing a soundboard using only varnish? Reblitz gives two options: either shellac then varnish, or sanding sealer then laqcuer? Any thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks, Ed Ed The shellac, a 2 pound cut, will give you a nice seal coat for your varnish. If I'm not mistaken, Steinway still varnishes their boards.
