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.
