After the whole instruments has been cleaned with a hot water and a cloth, the surface is scraped with the right amount of pressure to get the right amount of surface texture. I don't want an absolutely flat and polished surface, but I don't want to leave it too rough either, it's a matter of taste!
Now, the viola is in a U.V. cabinet to get some "sun tan" before varnishing!
