In Response To: Protective coat for lacquered enamel chest (Karen Stigler)

As James suggests the glass may be the best answer because it will protect best...if it is enameled then an acrylic enamel topcoat would be the best clear coat....clean well with a solvent to remove waxes and oils/contamination....lacquer over enamel is ill advised because the enamel is Alkyd based and far more flexible than the lacquer which will tend to crack when applied over a more elastic finish.
