> There are only a handful of possible ingredients
Are you sure?
Yes, absolutely sure. Of course, there may be possible hands with a great number of fingers... thus a handful could potentially be a large number of ingredients, extraterrestrial hands for example...but judging from the aroma, the viscosity, color, drying behavior it has all the traits of an organic tree rosin origin varnish in a semi-polyemrized vegetable oil carrier...
> so the only differences would be one of percentage...
Maybe. Maybe not. Make up pur own mind and stop guessing would be my suggestion.
It is my nature to keep guessing. Since the experiments with the diamond powders + C37 yielded good results in certain applications, we now contemplate the basic C37 and the "post C37" technologies. Lucky for me I didn't get into fullerene additives and poison myself.
I'm also considering metal additives, such as superfine silver flake for added mass when that might help.
> C37 is used a as violin lacquer isn't it ?
No, there is also violin laquer that incorperates the same principles, but it is likely again a different formulation.
So what are all those Ennenmoser C37 violins painted with ?
As for violin laquers, there are many possible fundamental laquers, including "classic" natural ones and modern polymers
