Can you vanish on top of wax to seal wax?
To answer your question it is necessary to understand what a "seal" is in the context of applying wax and varnish. A seal is a protective coating of a substance that is insoluable and impermeable to the liquids and chemicals that the object being sealed is likely to be exposed to. Varnish, used to seal against water and oil, is actually very vulnerable to many other common liquids, particularly simple alkaline solvents like soap and ammonia. Wax is an impenetrable seal against not only water and oil, but also nearly all known solvents and even a majority of acid and alkaline industrial chemicals. So, while you can apply a layer of varnish over a layer of wax, it won't actually seal the item it's applied to any better than the wax layer already has. What's more, if the varnish is also used to change the surface appearance of the item (tint, stain, glossy/matte texture), then when the varnish layer eventually erodes from exposure to solvents, or the wax layer erodes from the passage of time, the visual effect will gradually be lost in a random, patchy, and aesthetically unappealing way.
