What can I use to spray oil paint to prevent it from staining?

Hello, I painted a canvas with oil paint, and now I've noticed that the dried paint is rubbing off on my hands as soon as I touch the canvas. Unfortunately, I don't have a proper spray, which you're supposed to spray on like varnish. Are there any alternatives like hairspray or setting spray?

Oil painting is particularly suitable for patience. – A quote:

Oil paints need days for drying and drying – depending on Thickness – several months.

This and more important in: https://www.schmincke.de/information/wussten-sie-schon/oelfarben-und-ihre-dryingszeiten.html

Fixatively disturbs this oxidation process and consequently leads to the formation of folds and cracks.

Can you take alternatives that you might have at home?

This would be a case for the Guinness book., the oil color will turn off.

If it really is, then spray with colorless lacquer and it will no longer paint.
