I am running low on GHSP matte varnish so I used Folk Art, soft touch, top coat. It worked great, feels great, looks really soft but…
(and I may need to have let it cure longer than overnight)
when I was rooting and misting the head with conditioner to remove tangles and trim I noticed that the top coat was turning kinda milky and getting glue-like. It dried fine about 20 minutes later but I am a little worried.
Anyone have any experience rooting after air dry varnish?

I use Americana soft touch and root over it all the time, but I wait at least 1 week before I root.

Is the folk art the glass and tile? I have heard of people having issues with that…

Macpherson, Dolls by Sandie, and Bountiful Baby all have Ghsp matte and satin varnish in stock. Small containers. But I don’t think there’s a limit.

I usually begin rooting over Soft touch after drying overnight. Could it be too thick?

Was the Soft Touch your top coat? What kind of conditioner were you using? Maybe that reacted with the top coat.

Depending on the humidity and temperature where you are it can take longer to fully cure. I think about 48 hours is standard, but I usually leave it a week or so just to be sure.

The drying time or too thick may cause that.

They do but I would have to buy a lot I have eleven babies to seal.
Thanks for the heads up, I did buy some colors from sandy that I was desperately low on.

I have used the American soft touch and had none of this silliness, this was the Folk art soft touch top coat in the white bottle (not the jar stuff). I am going to give it a couple more days to cure. I had a practice limb, got it wet a couple times, went milky but dried again. This is weird.

I make my own mohair conditioner, I originally created this for my dog (golden doodle) and changed it around a bit for mohair (when you process and dye it you lose some of the lanolin) and lightly scented it, I have only used this conditioner on all my babies. Strange thing, gonna let it cure a little longer.
