I don't know what to cover the surface with, I've only just stopped to let it dry, and I don't want it to smudge when I'm carrying it around?How to protect unfinished oil painting?
DO NOT SPRAY IT WITH HAIR SPRAY!!!!!
You can buy a canvas carrier or just put it somewhere to dry that is protected from being touched. The canvas carriers have more than one place for canvas so you can put two face to face with air space between.
You can use Retouch Varnish for a protective coating without waiting 6 months. It can be used right away.

Don't cover it up with anything. Any thing you lay over the top of the oil paint will adhere to it. You need to allow it to air dry. If you must carry it around, just hold it by the back - the stretcher bars, if it's a canvas. If you want oil to dry faster try using linquin. You mix a bit of it into the oil paint so it will dry faster. Much faster. If it's hot it'll dry in a few hours as opposed to a few days or weeks. You can purchase linquin in any art supply store. It's a guey liquid that comes in small bottles next to thinning agents and such.
Spray it with hair spray!
