revarnish
Coat again, glossily
Revarnish means to apply a fresh coat of varnish to something that was previously varnished, typically furniture, woodwork, or artwork.
The process usually involves removing or sanding down the old varnish before applying new finish.
The antique dealer revarnished the table to restore its original luster.
Like other re- verbs, it implies restoration or renewal of a prior condition.
