Varnishing Disaster! Help Urgently Needed Please? (Pic Heavy)

[Atheling_2006]

OK, I have just shy of 30 years experience painting at the high end- for much of that time professionally.

It has never happened to me before using the old HMG Matt formula; I was promised by the vendor that it was that exact formula.

All the layers of varnish were applied a week apart and in none humid conditions at room temperature (my conservatory has a £500 dehumidifier and is kept warm).

So maybe, just maybe, you are trolling me?

So, are you telling me, if you bought a car and the exhaust fell off you would not defer to the dealer and complain???

That is all I have to say to you- I get the strong impression you are trolling.

Certainly no trolling or bullying intended and apologies if it seemed that way

OK, that's good enough for me. I realise that it's easy for things to get lost in translation in communication over the net.

I've been in touch with the vendor today and had quite a positive response.

Ah good, all's well what ends well. Hope you can do a recovery job on the figures.

Cheers. They currently reside in a box which has been taped shut and out of sight.

It doesn't feel like quite so much of a disaster now. Eventually they will be stripped and painted again so all it well

Well there you go then, all recoverable and/or redoable. Nothing is insurmountable. Happy painting!

Yeah, this piece was done in five sittings so all is very much back to normal:

Is your truncheon not similar to the Gurkha kukri in that once drawn it has to "taste blood" before it can be re-sheathed?

He uses it to get the next lot into the Wicker Man.

Besides which, I refer my learned freind to Bugles and a Tiger.
