JOHA® Propolis Varnish for Instrument Making

JOHA® Propolis Varnish is a high-quality spirit varnish based on natural propolis extracts and carefully selected resins. Its special composition produces a soft, flexible varnish film with a glossy finish that excellently supports the natural acoustic properties of an instrument.

The varnish is particularly suitable for varnishing high-quality string instruments and fine wooden surfaces. The combination of propolis and flexible resins provides a protective finish and makes it an interesting choice for instrument makers who value natural ingredients and good acoustic properties.

JOHA® Propolis Varnish is available as a ground varnish, colour varnish and topcoat varnish for a traditional multi-layer varnishing system. It dries slightly more slowly than our Spirit Varnish Ia, allowing more time for even application.

JOHA® Propolis Varnish is a premium product among spirit varnishes. Since pure propolis solution alone is difficult to apply and does not form a sufficient varnish layer, high-quality elastic resins are added. This creates a soft, elastic varnish that excellently preserves the full sound of an instrument. The varnish is based on natural propolis extracts and provides a particularly gentle, protective surface with a glossy finish – ideal for instrument making and delicate wood types. Properties Spirit varnish with natural propolis extract and elastic resins Soft, elastic film for optimal sound transmission Glossy surface Application Note JOHA® Propolis Varnish is especially suitable for users who value natural ingredients and acoustic excellence. It dries somewhat slower than Spirit Varnish Ia and therefore requires a bit more patience for perfect surfaces. Recommended Use Ideal for multi-layer varnishing of string instruments and fine wood surfaces that require a natural and elastic seal. Varnish Build-Up For optimal results, we recommend the classic three-layer build-up: primer – color varnish – Coating. Primer: Strongly adhering first layer directly on the wood Color varnish: Colored or clear intermediate layer with protective effect Coating: Softest finishing layer with glossy surface and protection Drying Times Drying depends on temperature and humidity, ideally around 18 °C and 50–60% relative humidity. The first layers dry within approximately 12–24 hours; thicker layers require more time. Drying Test Press lightly with your finger on the surface – if no indentation remains, the varnish is dry.
