Someone may indeed varnish a shell, but this is not the usual way. Some kinds of shells are shiny because of the way the animal lives, but the sand isn't the polishing agent -- the animal itself is. When it is extended from its shell to crawl or feed, its body slides up around the shell like a cape; indeed, it's called a "mantle." Some mollusks cover their entire shell, others only a part.

We recommend painters using alkyd resin painting mediums wait three months before varnishing. Painters using an oil and damar mix in their painting mediums should wait six months. But, if an artist has a painting that is only dry on the surface and that painting is sold, we recommend the artist varnish only with Gamvar Picture Varnish. For this purpose, thin Gamvar with approximately 20% Gamsol or other high quality Odorless Mineral Spirits (OMS) to make a very light coating. See similar questions...

Pool in the Park we use sand-based filters to clean the water, occasionally some of this sand flows back into the pool. You may occasionally notice it gathers in certain areas where the water is at its stillest, usually at the bottom. Don't worry it is completely harmless and gets swept up regularly by our pool vacuum cleaner. See similar questions...

Sand filter is based on the use of sand as a filtering material. The filter works with sand grains of selected diameter graded from 0.15 to 0.45 mm. Filters remove particles bigger and smaller than this range. Bigger particles are held by the sifting physical effect and smaller ones by the adhesion effect to the surface of the superficial layers of the filtering element. See similar questions...

Sand-like particles could be calcium (lime) deposits, water softener resin, or sand from a geologic formation. A small sample of the particles should be soaked in vinegar or a mild acid. If the particles dissolve when the acid is added, they are calcium deposits. Sand or water softener resin will not react to the acid. Water softener resin appears as symmetrical and shiny particles that feel greasy to the touch. See similar questions...

A spot varnish is applied only to specific parts of a printed piece, to highlight those areas or add to the overall visual impact. See similar questions...

Don't varnish WoodBlocX. Water will get under the varnish and turn it black within a year. Unless you want to treat it like a boat and varnish it every year! Do paint WoodBlocX with any exterior wood paint if you want it coloured, or just leave it natural. The natural green colour will last for several years before fading to a grey. You can always paint it later when this occurs. See similar questions...
