I just had to finish up this thread on Gamvar by saying that my varnish is now wonderful, thanks to your help, Marvin! I successfully (and easily) removed the messed up job, let the canvas "dry" for a few hours, went out and bought a $25 varnish brush, mixed wax into the already disolved varnish (like how you explained) and brushed it on in a horizontal position while shining a spotlight onto the canvas at all angles. I didn't even want to examine the results for 3 hours because I was still a little afraid. Just now I went in to see the results. It's beautiful! I just had to let you know (and anyone else who is interested in this subject). I am REALLY sold on adding wax. The glare is gone, yet all the colors really pop out. You were right! Thank you again for this valuable help. Maybe I will post my portrait when I get the digital scan back. It's of 5 children on a square 48" x 48" canvas and my client's movers come get it Monday!
