Good grief!!!

How much retouch varnish are you using? I've used retouch varnish for years, and never had it remain wet.

I do not mean to sound like I'm preaching, here, but this stuff is meant to be spritzed on very lightly. It is (for me, anyway) used to bring up the values to the way they all look when the paint is wet. Use no more than that.

My retouch spritzing dries in a very short time -- usually in minutes.

Use very little of this stuff. It is mostly turp, and will dissolve paint.
