Thank you Marvin and Michele for your tips. I did get an answer from Robert Gamblin himself about this problem and now know what went wrong. I should have applied the varnish with the painting in a horizontal position and probably should have just caught the places I missed the first time around (like you explained, Marvin). I wish there had been some instructions somewhere about the application process. I think my only option is to slowly remove it all with Gamsol. I am not looking forward to this, but I have no choice. I may add the wax this time as well. Another question I have is about the "brush it until it is dry" method I read about. Won't that cause it to get sticky or show brush marks (and leave hairs)? One person uses a silk bob instead of a brush. Any more advice on all this??
Thanks again!
