can photo paper be painted over with lacquer? what kind?
i want to seal photographs glued to wood blocks to protect them, and maybe give it enough of a gloss or matte finish?
i’d appreciate if you describe the type i need to use, brand names such as mod podge would’t be useful since i’m in a place where it’s not available and where there are NO (specialty) craft stores! that’s why i’m looking for a description so i can loook for it somewhere (bookstore or hardware store maybe). thanks in advance.

Oh, sorry- I just saw your other question about not answering this one. We used to do that with pictures with plain old shellack. But I don’t think we did it with real photos, just pictures from magazines.
Maybe you lost track because you posted the same question so many times, but you did get some good answers earlier.
There is a product out called “diamond glaze” and it dries to a glass like finish…..very nice !!!
I use it with bottle caps and an image glued inside ( but glue is really needed) and then applying the “diamond glaze” …get rid of the air bubbles with a pin…and in 24 hours you have an image behind what looks as if it was set inside glass.
I think it is better then lacquer or Mod podge which you can buy on line if you want that.
Diamond glaze is made by Judi-Kins and as a matter of fact, you can go to judi-kins ( or google diamond glaze) print off a questionnaire and they will send you a free sample of the diamond glaze with a 52 cent self addressed envelope.
It’s worth a try ? You might like it best ?
Good luck !!!
