Anyone know how to make this? Not the kind for glue but for varnish that is clear and miscible with various solvents.  I can buy Glyoxal and Urea, but can't seem to find anyone who sells Urea Glyoxal.. Thanks for any help.

Of course you will not find it to buy. You have to mix both compounds. It will react immediately.

^Thanks , but wont that turn white? I need it to be clear and to be  mixable with ethanol?  It is sold as a liquid resin such as Cymel nf 3041, but they only sell to manufacturers. 

Anyone know if it is possible to make glyoxal that is clear without any yellow color in it?
