Guyz I know, but there is no possibility to repolish this ultra thin slice,
it will break into pieces.
Its also 100000% stable so the only reason to paint it again is to make it
looks perfect polished again.
It looks beautifull

and now not very spectacular

You can see that surface is not polished with the same quality. Still some
varnish in cracks need to be cleaned.

Adam beat me to it. Avoid varnish and sealers like the plague.
My two cents (actual worth may vary) - completely remove all traces of
the varnish. Put a proper polish on the specimen. Then bake it in an
oven for several hours to help purge any residual moisture. In my
experience, Seymchan is stable when prepared properly, so the varnish
was likely a measure of laziness (as Adam said), and not an attempt to
stabilize the specimen by sealing out moisture.
Every time I see a specimen with varnish or polyurethane on it, I cringe.
Best regards,

Do not use lacquer on meteorites, period! In this day and age, dealers
should know better. Any time I see it, I think "lacquer is for lazy
people
who do not want to take the time to polish properly." There is no
substitute for a good polish which reduces the surface area and repels
moisture. Lacquer traps moisture in the meteorite and hastens
disintegration. Just ask anybody who has owned a Lacquer covered
Brenham!
I had one completely fall apart and the only thing holding together was
the
lacquer finish. It held it together just long enough to make it to my
trashcan.
Happy Collecting,
Adam

Subject: [meteorite-list] varnish on pallasites
Hello List
Need help :-(
I have beautifull big slice of Seymchan 1mm thin. I wanted to put it to
new
membrane frame toogether with my 2mm Brahin and 1mm Shirokovsky so I
start
clean them from oil using acetone.
Unfotunatelly I didn't know that Seymchan was covered with very thin
varnish
layer. Acetona damaged varnish so I need to remove it. Now slice dont
look
nice as before becouse polishing is not same on whole surface, varnish
make
it look super polished.
Im not fan of using such protections on any meteorite so I have no
experience in this topic. I need sugestions how to put thin and clear
varnish layer. I should use normal clear varnish in spray or something
else
?
Thanks
