Paperpatch Varnish-glue is used to glue the paper and protect at the same time the paper. It was specifically designed for the Decopatch paper. This water-based glue is nontoxic and odor free. It won't alter colours and adheres perfectly to any type of base. Once dry, it makes a clear, water-resistant satin finish. 
Aquapro sealant is also water based, and water-washable. It gives a glossy finish and protect against heat, moisture, and detergents. Once dry, the sealant is safe for surfaces that are in contact with foodstuffs.
Don't forget to protect by 2 or 3 coats the surface that will be used frequently!
You can apply Decopatch paper to any surface without special preparation. However, porous surfaces should be primed with either a coat of Aquapro sealant or a primer. My preference goes to either a gesso or white acrylic paint.
Tips! If you want to showcase the original colour of the paper, coat the base with a primer first.

However work with the original condition (an old table for example) for an antiqued finish. The final result will be enhanced by the tranparency of the paper.
