Hello all. I have recently come into the possession of an old Weymann mandolin that had no fretboard. I have carefully hide-glued on a new fretboard with a slight wedge underneath to bring the action up a bit higher and I am now looking to seal and finish the new, raw wood to match the older varnish, which I would like to preserve intact. My only problem is that I am not sure what type of varnish was used on this particular brand. I am assuming that this mandolin is from the 20s or 30s. I would love to hear from anyone who has dealt with or knows about these particular instruments, or similar instruments from this era. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
-Jon
