Hello Philippe,
I don't actually have a bottle. Is something I have found on a recipe for
varnishing tintypes with gum sandarac and oil of lavender. I was wondering
that maybe 190 proof grain alcohol is an ordinary 90 C. distilled alcohol
(190 F is almost 88 C).
Maybe someone else has a different tintype varnish coating recipe I can
test.
Yours,
David
