After having created the blending, I varnished the neck with the provided "Giffpolitur farblos". I think it is just pure shellack in some alcohol. Before finishing the neck I was reading in some forums that one often leaves the neck untreated to leave it smoother and more slippery which makes it easier to play. Some say that a French polish or shellack may be used. Since the set Have includes this grip polish, I think it is exactly the French polish that some use. It's really quite clear. Maybe I should have stained the neck before hand as the colour wasn't quite even. Oh well, something to do differently in the next one.
