I could use suggestions for a topcoat of this. I've made a small end table for my dad who since he has parkinsons he spills EVERYTHING. It's rock maple that has one coat of minwax on it then transtint dye mixed with dewaxed shellac. I really like the color and I need something durable for the finish do to his frequent spills. I'm thinking varnish but everyone says it doesn't adhere to shellac. So I'll take any suggestions I can get and yes next time I will research better before I get to this point thanks.
