Lani,
Welcome to the forum--just saw your introductory post over at the other section.
In my experience with Damar, the painting becomes touch dry after about 15 minutes, so it can pretty much be handled after that. In any case, I do not use Damar until after about 4-6 months after the painting is completed, to allow the paint films to thoroughly dry first. Before submission to the client I usually apply retouch varnish to bring the painting together as a whole and to give it an even finish. This has an even quicker drying time, so the client can proceed to the framing process immediately. The damar ritual is part of my sort of "after sales service" to the client (if the client is, of course, within reasonable distance from me).
Hope to see your work soon.
your fellow computer challenged member,
Carlos
