Alright so I did a commission, and it took a long time (well, almost a year, but it's a high detail piece and I'm not a full-time artist). The thing is, I applied a dammar varnish in my haste because the clients were getting impatient, and it was only a couple weeks after the last details had been added. There was no way the painting was 100% dry. I live in the humid south, too. I know, rookie mistake. But I'm a rookie.
Well, like the title states, it's still sticky. And it has been for over 2 months. I've been air drying it flat and raised, with a ceiling fan and an open window on low-humidity days. The medium is all Georgian oil and some linseed oil - no solvents no mineral oils.
The thing is, about half the painting is the background, which I finished over 6 months ago, and is one layer. The varnish on this area is still sticky, too!
I apologize for the long post, but I'm trying to deliver it to them this week. How do I dry it? I have a blow dryer... or is it doomed? I have an older painting I used the same varnish on earlier and it dried in 3 weeks.
Thank you SO much to anyone who can help. I'm at my wit's end.
I am wondering if anyone can help me with varnishing. I am new to painting with oils and this is the first painting I have varnished.
I varnished a small painting about 3/4 weeks ago (maybe even 5) and the Dammar Varnish is still tacky. The painting was dry when I applied the varnish (or at least I thought it was as it was dry to the touch).
Is this normal? If not, what shall I do and how can I rectify it as I don't want to damage my painting?
(I am also new to this page as well. I didn't quite know where else to post my question)
Hej.
Jag har alltid skakat av mina använda sängkläder innan jag stoppar in dom i tvätten, för att få bort det värsta dammet. Men nu bor jag för första gången i en lägenhet och det är inte längre lika praktiskt (oroar mig alltid att tappa lakanet från fönstret).
Min fråga, har mitt sängklädesskakande varit helt i onödan? Dammas dessa av ändå av tvättmaskinen?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
