Golden Paints has just released a new archival spray varnish, that I believe can be used on oils. I find Golden's technical support and products excellent. They do a great deal of product research and are generally on the cutting edge. Mike Townsend has been very helpful and knowledgeable. www.goldenpaints.com
Thank you Sharon, I happen to live in a rain forest in the Northwest. Finding a truly dry day this time of year is almost impossible. I will take a look at Golden Paints

Thanks again for the great advice. I am so glad I didn't use the lacquer!
