...is a mixture of inert, heavier than air gasses that will sit on top of the varnish, blocking it from contacting the oxygen in the air in the can. It only takes a quick spray into the can and it works great.

CO2 will also work if you have access to it.

I've heard of people using propane, butane and other flammable gasses, but I prefer something inert.
