Thanks!

These will indeed be two paintings that have been "home" with the clients for a 4-6 months and which are being varnished by me in a "special personal service" kind of way.

In the past, I have used spray Damar gloss varnish, which dries so fast I didn't give it another thought. I have since then tried applying varnish with a brush on a still life (like a big time grown up artist) and I found the finish to be much more beautiful and so I want to do that for these folks.

I take it from your advice that by the time I return these paintings, two days after they've been varnished, that I can advise the clients to go ahead and frame away. Thanks for the help! This forum is great.

By the way, do you know if that holds true if I choose to try Gamblin Gamvar instead of Damar varnish?
