Coccus lacca is a natural laquer that can be used to permeate and cover an object in a protective layer of organic varnish.  To make liquid Coccus lacca one needs pure alcohol. Add 30 to 50 grams of dry Coccus lacca to 100 ml of alcohol, to make a saturated solution that is ready to use after one night of dissolving. It takes trial and error to achieve the perfect effect on your objects of art.
