To Lay on the Varnish.—Observe that thepainting is thoroughly dry, and the surfacefree from dust or dirt; then spread the varnishover the painting quickly, evenly, and not toothick, taking care that the strokes are broad,and that they do not cross one another. Onecoat should be quite dry before the next isapplied, and it is better always to apply thevarnish in a warm place, to prevent chilling. If the first coat becomes dull or rough,it should be removed, and a fresh one applied.
