Oil in the paints seeps into the canvas leaving uneven shines with time. Damar varnish can be applied only after one year of finishing the oil painting as specified. However, 6 months can be enough time to apply it or even 3 months (if you are in a hurry). Damar varnish dries in 10 minutes and it only needs a new clean brush to apply.
