Does anybody still make genuine amber varnish, i.e., made from amber and turpentine?
I don’t need it for a musical instrument; it’s for amber jewelry. A few of the pieces have surface crazing that is too deep to buff out. A coat of resin would fill the crazing and restore transparency.
Some jewelers use a coat of acrylic resin, but I would rather use traditional amber varnish.

Just google amber varnish and you will find a number of sources.
I had already searched, but the ones I checked didn't get specific on ingredients. Trade secrets, perhaps. But if anybody knows of a brand that is mostly amber and terpenes, that's what I'm looking for.
