 * Varnish is very apt to ciss on old work, if the second coat is not applied as soon as ever the first coat is hard enough to bear varnishing.
 * 1920, Robert Selby Morrell, Armand Waele, Rubber, Resins, Paints and Varnishes, page 198:
 * "Cissing."—This term, which would appear to be peculiar to the paint and varnish craft, represents the phenomenon occuring when oil is applied to a damp surface or vice versa, and consists in the contraction or retression of the film applied to separate drops of lesser surface. The manifestation of the “cissing” would appear to be about simultaneous with the period of evaporation of the bulk of the volatile thinner . The cause of “cissing” on an unflatted varnished surface is to be found as before stated in the high interfacial tension
 * 1952, Maurice Robert Mills, An Introduction to Drying Oil Technology, page 10:
 * There is some doubt as to the exact fatty acid composition, but the unquestionably high linolenic acid content and the fact that it is somewhat more reactive than linseed oil places it in the linolenic group. The raw oil tends to “ciss” when applied as a thin film, forming droplets as thought the surface were greasy.

 * The use of silicone anti-cissing agents in particular demands extreme caution, for while small amounts can help to prevent cissing, excessive use will actually promote it. Moreover, any subsequent coats are even more likely to ciss, and their ...

 * G. V. HILL asked for observations on the mechanism of cissing. In some experiments with a two-pack sprayed clear coating he said that the ciss marks were mainly associated with solid particles.

 * 1960, Corrosion Prevention and Control:
 * By cissing is meant the apparent unwillingness of the paint to stay level on the surface at some points but to form small craters. This cissing was a condition well known to painters in the past and stemmed then from grease on the surface.

 * More defined than stippling, more delicate than sponging, spattering and cissing are two techniques that are superficially similar. Both employ tiny spots of color to produce a speckled look - the main difference is that cissing involves softening ...

 * The silicone oil must be compatible with the finish, or it will itself cause cissing.
