Mattlac is a spirit varnish designed for repair and restoration work: it is intended for touch-ups on areas marked by wear, varnish depreciation, or certain repairs at glue joints and restorations. Its fast-drying behavior makes it an effective choice for meticulous interventions.
This product is suitable for luthiers, repair workshops, and careful musicians accustomed to finishing touch-ups. It is particularly suited for instruments of the string quartet family (viola, violin, cello) when a localized retouch must remain clean, fine, and even.
A well-applied touch-up varnish aims to protect the wood and even out the appearance without unnecessarily dampening vibration. Thanks to its use in thin layers and fast drying, Mattlac allows localized retouches that respect the instrument's balance when the application is controlled.
For precise application, favor fine-hair touch-up brushes and a clean working environment (dust-free area) to avoid inclusions during the very fast drying process.
