LOL, let me start off with my definition of a varnish.

A paint containing a solvent and an oxidizing or evaporating binder, used
to
coat a surface with a hard, glossy, transparent film.
The smooth coating or gloss resulting from the application of this paint.

Well, the "evaporating" qualifies shellac as a varnish. That's pushing a
bit. And a "paint" usually contains pigment and is not a "transparent"
film.

But that's just me feeling pedantic this morning :-).


LOL, Varnish is a resulting finish not necessarily a type of finish.
Carburetors can develop a varnish inside.
