How should I store the varnish?

What happens if the varnish dries with a glossy finish?

This could be due to insufficient shaking, thick coats, or high humidity. Shake the bottle more vigorously next time, apply thinner coats, and ensure proper ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Varnish appears glossy or uneven.

Ensure the bottle was shaken thoroughly before use. Apply thinner coats and allow each to dry completely before applying the next. Check your airbrush settings if using an airbrush.

Varnish is clumping or drying too quickly.

Ensure you are applying in a low-humidity environment. Clean your airbrush or brush thoroughly after each use. If using an airbrush, adjust the pressure and distance from the model.

Varnish doesn't adhere to the surface.

Make sure the surface is clean and free of dust or oils before applying. Test the varnish on a small, inconspicuous area first.
