I just followed instructions on the can. Spray some pictures outside, 
got no dust but some insect on the varnish, then move inside into the 
basement. The smell is tolerable.

Yes, I tried some after my first post on the subject. Prints very 
fine with MIS-FSN, and the Kamar varnish cured the rub off problem. 
But some bronzing is apparent, though less. 

Got the Kamar varnish at some local art supplies store. $5.81 can. 
To be frank, it doesnt totally get rid of the bronzing problem, but 
at least there is no more rub off.

Cheers,
Andre
