Oiling out .... not using a varnish ... do you mean this as a permanent fix ... I mean deliver to client and not worry about it anymore?

I am starting to get a lot of portraiture work .... mostly as of later are charcoal and or pencil work ... no need for varnish or oiling of course but its transitioning into Oil portraitures ..... I picked up 3 commissions this week .... so my concern is what to do for delivery ...... in light of your comments above and what I said of my search for answers could you explain a little more or did I mis understand you
