Just set them asside and let the finish cure good. When you are ready to go wrap individualy and put in plastic tubs for transport. I buy mine at Walmart.

I generaly use newspaper to wrap with but if the finish is not cured or you do not pack fairly tight you may get some rub damage

Good turning and be safe

>I do a lot of art shows and I find the best way to store and transport bowls (and boxes) is to put them in large mailers (the ones with bubble wrap) with the top of the bag folded back & held in place with rubber bands. I put these in heavy duty rubbermaid tubs. Good luck with your shows.

>Well, it might look a bit shabby, but once the finish is good and cured (not dry, cured!) we wrap our stuff in old bath towels. They are soft, they are big, and they are free! Then we load them up in the big plastic tubs like so many others.
