Copal Varnish

Take spirits of wine one quart, gum copal one ounce, and shell lac half an ounce; reduce the gums to powder, put the spirits in a jar or bottle, add the gums, place the whole in a warm place, with the cork lightly in the bottle; shake it occasionally, and when the gums are quite dissolved, strain and bottle for use.
