When
it
is
wished
to
render
any
of
the
stains
more
durable
and
beautiful,
the
work
should
be
well
rubbed
with
Dutch
or
common
rushes
after
it
is
coloured,
and
then
varnished
with
seed-lac
varnish,
or
if
a
better
appearance
is
desired,
with
three
coats
of
the
same,
or
shell-lac
varnish.
Common
work
only
requires
frequent
rubbing
with
linseed
oil
and
woollen
rags.
The
remainder,
with
the
exception
of
glass,
will
be
treated
in
the
following
sections:
