Lacquer on a bar top?

Question

I have an old cupboard that I am turning into a temporary bar. I want to put pictures on it and lacquer it down, but I don’t know what kind of lacquer to use. I am looking for something that is simple and quick, and will last for at least a year, until I get my permanent bar.

Answer 1

Or you could always get a piece of glass or plexiglass cut the same size and slip pictures underneath so it doesn't damage the pictures or the top of the cabinet

Answer 2

Use polyurethane varnish.  It resists all stains and is clear enough not to put much color over your pictures.  

Answer 3

The secret is more to do with preparation-the better you prepare it the better the finish.Theres lots of different types of Varnish so depends on your preference if its just clear varnish then its a simple job.Blackfriars is one of the best.You need only to use internal type.
