I made the HUGE mistake of trying to spray a few pieces I made with a lacquer finish. Everything stayed tacky. I went over the pieces with a brush on acrylic and thought that solved the problem, but after a few weeks, the pieces were tacky again. It was a good thing I kept all the items for myself. Now I know--no shortcuts, brush on the right finish!

5 Smooshing Thoughts:
I just made this same mistake a few weeks back. Good to know that applying a brush-on will not fix the problem. I might try sticking my pieces back in the oven.
I've had a couple of pieces like that, they are sitting on my table while I try different things, but so far nothing has helped!
Let me know if rebaking helps.
Is there a spray-on acrylic that works? For some larger pieces that would be so much easier!
I made the same mistake myself a couple of times! I never tried re-baking but mine never hardened again. It is the propellant in the sprays that react with the clay I think.
