What is a good decoupage sealant for painted coffee tables?
gothariel asked:
I want to use a strong sealant for my coffee tables. I painted, then decoupaged color copies onto them. When I used a lacquer sealant, some of the colors from the copies ran. Any ideas?

You need to use polyurethane…several coats to seal good…takes a while to dry..allow to dry between coats.

Lightly sand the area and use polyurethane. You can use the brush on or spray method. After it is completely dried, lightly sand and repeat.

I would use a waterbased poly in a spray can…lightly mist it so it doesn’t disturb the color copies. Build it up slowly.
