New to Mitra. So I am not sure how to use the search option.
How do I remove old damar varnish? I tried using Turpentine, but it isn’t removing the damar.

Damar cross-links as it ages and becomes less soluble in turpentine. If this is a damar varnish layer on a painting of antique age, it might not be wise to attempt removal in the studio.
