i have a finished baby that has a shine. I would like to satin varnish her. Do I need to take her apart to do so? Or can I apply the satin varnish and use my heat gun?
Heat guns are for very small touch ups. If you are going to apply varnish all over then take the doll apart. If you use the heat gun on the face, you run the risk of burning the eyelashes off or the hair.

I was thinking of only doing the limbs…
You still should take the parts apart; you don’t want to burn a hole in the body.

You can get it at BB:
The Satin gives a bit more sheen than the Matte and is a little softer. You do not need to add any thinner to it.
It is so easy to work with, no chalkiness!

Nice texture! 
I don’t understand? Please explain:-)
Someone mentioned they mix the Matte with the Satin for a perfect combo.

Does the satin varnish have to be baked?

Yes, it is heat set just like the Matte Varnish.
I used satin on Kai. And while it feels better than matte, I still don’t like the feel of it.

Definitely. But,Kai wasn’t shiny so I hate that I used it. But since he’s for sale,I don’t want him to get shiny in the future.

I also add some Flesh 07 to the varnish and like how it brings the tones together. I think the feel of the blank vinyl feels like a doll.
