I messed up a painting with gamvar satin varnish. Patches of varnish reticulated, I over worked it and it looked awful. It was for an upcoming exhibition. I panicked, couldn't sleep. I watched your video this morning and jumped into to removing the varnish. I was so nervous but it turned out to be easier than expected and worked a treat. You saved me. I felt great all day. Thank you 😊

I spent 6 hours on a painting. 20 seconds to apply varnish which ruined it. Really hope this works!

good luck. I would let varnish dry before removing it. Why do you think it was ruined?

Thankfully, I have not used Gamvar on many paintings. I recently used it, and to my eyes is not as good as damar varnish. But, I am hesitant to attempt removing it. I do not think there is a way to remove it 100%. So if you're painting over it, it may eventually cause the paint to disengage. And who knows what other varnishes will do over it. As unpleasant and probably unhealthy the application of Damar is, sticking with what works.

Hello Karen, After removing Gamvar varnish, can it be re-varnished with another brand of varnish? If the answer is yes, how long do I have to wait between one process and another?, Thanks!.

Usually you would NOT change directions with your brush when applying varnish

According to the manufacturer this is what they recommend but I agree with you it felt unnatural

I have an oil painting that has badly discolored varnish on it. I think it’s worth a shot to try cleaning that off and re-varnishing it?

Thank you for watching. If It was my painting I would try BUT first it will be helpful to know what kind of varnish is on it so u know what will take it off. Gamsol removes Gamvar. I’ve never removed other varnishes.

@@KarenAnnArcherFineArt Good to know. The varnish is turning brown. I have no idea what garish was used. I bought it in a little shop many years ago.

I’ve never removed from acrylic. If you know what kind of varnish was used contact the manufacturer they should be able to tell you. Sorry I was no help.
