A friend who has a custom handbag company asked me to paint a 16-/2 x 23-1/2 (unframed) canvas which will be made into a zippered bag. The painting is finished and ready to be varnished, but I am wondering how long I need to let it dry before shipping it to her. I plan to use picture varnish on it unless someone has a better idea.

I live in the New Mexico high desert and am wondering if it would be dangerous to roll the canvas in a couple of months and overnight it to her in a tube. If so, can you recommend when and how I should send it. If not, what should I do?

Thanks.
