how easy is it to remove the varnish coating in the tin?

I hadn't tried. With normal use through the creation of one candle the tin looks same as they did when I purchased them. I'll be reusing them so I might know if that changes with more time.

Yes, very easy. Just a swipe with a paper towel to dry it out on the inside and inside the cap and your done.

No, in order to remove varnish you need to either sand or strip the wood. Naptha is mixed with varnish or paint to make for a faster drying process.

I used Goo Gone but watch how hard you rub. If you have wood veneer finish, it may take it off too.

I was anxious about this, but it was easier than I anticipated. I used a Goof-Off type adhesive remover that has a flexible plastic scraper on the cap. Dripped some of the remover onto the edges of the latch, used the scraper to gently pry underneath, and the adhesive popped off easily after a few seconds, with no damage to my painted kitchen cabinets underneath. Do NOT use a butter knife, as some have suggested -- you'll scratch the surface!

Yes if real copper and no if varnished or coated. Remove varnish or coating first. Use the ball available from Amazon to breeze through the job. Green corrosion will remove with vinegar and water applied liberally, then Flitz away. You may find the corrosion has eaten through the copper leaving tiny pin holes, or more. Seal these after cleaning.

Very easy. You can get a baby bottle brush at the dollar store and use that.

The only thing I've found is regular cleaning with Bona Floor Cleaner, and a new coat of clear varnish. Sorry :(

No isn't is not hard to remove. but since you just got the crown I would wait at least a week before trying to make your mold.

Goo Gone works well and should not harm the plastic. Sometimes, scrubbing with a Scotch Brite sponge, dish soap, and hot water will remove it.

It's not too difficult. I just used a spatula. It's a little difficult to clean though.

It's meant to be permanent, so if you put it on varnished wood, it certainly might peel off some of the varnish if you try to remove it in the future.

I had a shiny #12 brass screw left over from a previous project and dipped the head of it in the bluing liquid for about 20 seconds, and it came out looking like antique brass. I tapped the screw head on a paper towel to get the excess liquid off, then let it sit on the paper towel for a minute or so before wiping it off good. It retained the antique look it had coming out of the liquid. I believe leaving it in the liquid longer or dipping it a second time, etc., would darken it up even more, but it has a nice aged look to it even now; I wish I could post a photo of it for you, but this is about the best I can do.

Not at all difficult. I no longer have the cleaner so I can't give you many details as I don't recall from doing it. Nevertheless, it was quite easy and did resolve the issue.

I used a putty knife to scrape it off. It comes off pretty easy. It stays in a guey state all the time and never gets hard.

Just soak it in mild soap and water, and if there's residue that needs to be removed use a fingernail brush to remove it.

I don't know if you can remove it. I'd suggest a gentle sanding then prime and paint.
