Color shine is tacky - please help

If it's still tacky after a day or so, pounce over it with an embossing buddy bag or dust it with a bit of talcum powder and a fluffy brush. That should take away some of the sticky.

Please take this as just an idea, but nothing tried & true...

How about drying it with a heat gun or hair dryer?

It sounds like the heat isn't helping in this case. Before moving on next, I'd reproduce the splatter on a similar cardstock quality (same finish as the album cover you sprayed on if possible). And I'd let it cure for a bit like happened with your previous woopsie.

I'd use that as a testing ground to experiment on. Could it be the heat is actually NOT helping it dry down but reactiving some sort of oily particles in it? It almost sounds like it's acting like wax. It could be that you can salvage this still without anyone knowing. If you can get rid of most of the Color Shine greasiness and cover it carefully with seemingly random dots using a snow effect stencil (easy to DIY) and gold embossing powder, it'll be almost just like you wanted to begin with and no one will be the wiser! 

Do you have a few close-up shots of the situation to share perhaps?

Ok, blemon , this has got to be salvageable. I refuse to believe otherwise. It's mostly a very fine mist with some larger drops. Is everything still tacky or only the larger drops?

ETA: Have you tried to use clear embossing powder on top of the tacky bits yet? If not (and provided you have clear embossing powder), can you carefully apply on one tacky drop and gently hit the embossing gun? If you sprayed both sides of the inside covers, definitely try where it would be least visible just in case it goes awry. 

I know you're talking about tacky as in the physical sensation, but every time I see this thread title, my overactive imagination conjures up a scrapbooker who used Color Shine for the first time and now thinks it's a tacky (tasteless) effect and was so outraged she had to make a thread asking how to fix it (like, "how dare this Color Shine hussy come into MY decent God-fearing home and ruin MY scrapbook layout, the nerve!"). It makes me giggle, so I had to share!

I hope you can figure out a way to make the Color Shine dry!

Sorry that happened. I know it must be frustrating and disappointing. Instead of tossing the album, as others have said, just stick some patterned paper over it.

HUZZAH! Looking forward to seeing your rescued album! Customisation is king anyway. 

My-my-my-my-my Corona! Silver lining if there ever was one...

So glad you saved your album. One less worry for DD, well done!

Hahaha, glad I'm not the only one that thinks that way!
