Violin Varnish Kits – Spirit Varnish or Oil Varnish

Our complete kits include everything you need for varnishing a violin – from staining to polishing. Both versions come with a detailed step-by-step guide to walk you through the entire process.

Spirit Varnish Kit

Ideal for advanced users: The fast-drying spirit varnish requires quick and confident application. The kit includes all essential materials – such as stain, ground varnish, colored varnish, topcoat, thinner, brushes, polishing compounds, and accessories.

Oil Varnish Kit

Also suitable for beginners: The slower-drying oil varnish allows for easier and more controlled application. This set contains all components needed for a full varnish build-up – including instructions and matching accessories.

Spirit varnishin-assortment I, for violin
Color: dark brown
Complete Varnishing Kit for a Violinincl. Step-by-Step Instructions This comprehensive set includes all materials needed for the complete varnishing process of a violin – from staining the raw wood to the final polish. It is designed for anyone looking to finish their instrument independently and with precision – suitable for both beginners and advanced users. A detailed, practice-proven guide takes you step by step through the entire varnishing process – from wood preparation to a high-gloss finish. The included instructions cover both oil varnish and spirit varnish and explain the specific techniques, drying times, and application tips for each. ✅ Choose the right varnish for your skill level: We recommend oil varnish for beginners: Oil varnish dries slowly and allows for even, controlled application. This gives beginners ample time to work carefully and get familiar with the process. Minor mistakes can be corrected easily. The result is a warm, classic finish with soft depth and glow. We recommend spirit varnish for advanced users: Spirit varnish is alcohol-based and dries very quickly, requiring practiced, confident handling. Those with experience will appreciate its brilliant clarity, vivid color tones, and the traditional recipe used in professional violin making. Please select your preferred varnish type when ordering – all other materials are tailored accordingly. Kit contents: Sandpaper for wood preparation Gelatine (pre-stain treatment) Stain 421 Staining sponge Primer varnish Color varnish in the chosen shade (oil- or spirit-based) Coating varnish Thinner (matched to varnish type) Neck polish High-quality varnishing brush Tripoli powder (fine abrasive for intermediate sanding) Polishing oil Varnish cleaner Polish for the final finish Conclusion: Whether you're varnishing your first violin or completing a more advanced project – this complete kit provides everything you need.
