What did you use to air dry seal her?

Art Deco Soft touch, just as I use with all my kits…

Are you sure your paint was completely dry when you applied the sealer?

Yes. I waited 3 days.

How old was your deco? That might be the issue. Or … if you didn’t stir it enough. Let’s ask @anjsmiles she will have a good answer!

New. Yes, I stirred until I couldn’t stir no mo!!!

Hmmm! I hope you find the answer!

Is it particularly wet or humid where you are? Try to dry her with hair dryer.

Ellie Sue’s vinyl is different…I think its Italian? Anyway, it does get sticky with the soft touch varnishes so just use something like Golden polymer matte with some matting powder or cornstarch. I use both matting powder and Golden super matte on my other babies and I do a layer of that and then soft touch but I only used the matting powder (rebornfx) mixed in on her and “he” was perfect.

Thank you so much!! This method is definitely helping. I tried Golden on her arm last night and looks way better this morning :slight_smile:
