Hi everyone, I finished mt doll and decided to pencil in the hair, it wasn’t working well so I applied matt varnish to help with the pencil. Well the head got chalky I have not baked it so what can I do to get rid of the chalky

Bake it a couple of times

Do I still bake it @ 265 for 8 min times 2

You should bake it twice (cooling between) BEFORE the prisma is drawn on.

Then varnish and bake again after. Bake twice again cooling between

Agree with this. Genesis gets chalky when not baked long enough.
