Digital BW, The Print

Paul, could you please give some detail as to the varnishing, if possible with different papers?  Forgive me if this has been covered before.   I have used Renaissance wax on silver prints with some success, and I know Paul Strand would sometimes varnish his prints.  Thx for any info.

  Everyone wants darker blacks, but the difference is really just a matter of
  glossy versus flat matte finish.  Mounted under glass, the flat pigmented
  prints look like silver prints in most lighting.  Only in perfect spot
  lighting with no reflections do you really see the difference.  Also, one
  simple coat of varnish takes an Eclipse print Dmax from 1.58 to 2.17.  At
  that point, more black isn't worth worrying too much about.
