My father put gloss varnish from vallejoh trough the airbrush with some wather and after a week of drying it is still slightly sticky does anyone know why this is?

It might not have been shaken enough? OR maybe too old?

Never come across this before

It was new bought and shaken

If it's still sticky after a week, there's no chance it will ever dry fully.
Not sure what happened, especially as it's the acrylic version and not the PU one.

Thx anyways it is for display only so it isn't to much of a problem

It will probably gather dust and hair fairly quickly if it's tacky

Is this a resin print by any chance?

#

Uncured resin leeching from the print can do that...

#

(So can badly mixed (bad ratio or leaving some settled stuff on the bottom of one of the parts) polyurethane cast)

You definitely would need to wash off that layer before adding a new one

Would strip the paint too

I would try warm water and soap with a soft toothbrush first

See if that gets you anywhere
