Can you varnish over chalk paint?? | Houzz UK
I've been searching the net for hours trying to find out if you can actually just paint over a chalk paint (rustoleum) with a poly varnish. It's not the same brand. I could wax but I get a blotchy finish and worry it's not durable enough for a dining table top and will mark super easily.

I've recently painted my closet with chalk paint. The multi varnish I used turned out to be really yellow after drying off. How to make it white again without repeating the whole process again?
I'm guessing that you used oil based polyurethane? Any oil based clear will have a yellow appearance and will get more yellow over time. You need to use a waterbased clear. As far as fixing it, I would lightly sand, apply another coat of paint, then apply a couple coats of the waterbased clear. More on reddit.com

r/DIY on Reddit: Sealant for chalk paint
May 16, 2019 -
Hi all, looking for some advice please!
I’m trying to upcycle an old TV unit. My second project, first was a disaster so I’m a bit apprehensive about it.
I’m painting it with a couple of coats of Rustoleum chalk paint. As the surface of this is going to be used (obviously to place TV etc) I’m thinking I will need to seal it? But with what?
Researching on Google is very conflicting. Seal it, don’t seal it. Use wax, avoid wax. Paint it, spray it etc...
Can anyone give me some advice so my painted piece will last and handle the usual wear and tear? I am based in U.K.
