Varnish (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

shellac

lacquer

'varnish' is the definition.
(I know that lacquer is a type of varnish)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lacquer that I've seen before include "coat for protection" , "Hairstyle fixer" , "Hard coating for wood" , "Varnish; hair-spray" , "Gloss varnish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun, The Telegraph, The Times, the Penny Press, The Sunday Times and The Guardian.
