Retouch Varnish Question




Help! I recently varnished a commissioned portrait with Damar retouch varnish and it left drip marks. I saw them as I was putting the varnish on but it was feeling sticky as I applied it and I couldn't brush over it. I wonder if my painting wasn't dry enough because the next few paintings didn't do that? Also, I did it outside and living in the desert I don't have to tell you how darn hot it was while I was doing it.

Should I attempt to re-varnish it and see what happens? I need to because I missed some spots that for whatever reason didn't take the varnish. OR - should I remove what has been put on it and start over? If so, how do you remove it?

Is there anyone out there who has had this happen before? It isn't that bad but when you look at it in a certain light, you can see the drip line and since they have paid for it, I don't want to give it to them until this has been corrected. Help!
