I used Elmers glue. First glue the back of paper item.
Now place where you want it. You may want to burn edges
of said paper item first.
I let this dry some then apply a good top coat of the glue
on the whole surface.
Now what I do is shellac the whole top right over the glue.
Do this after the glue dries.
Use zinser Amber shellac. (This makes it look old)
Now top with your resin.
Plastic under resin may warp due to the heat some resins
produce when mixed.
One more thing use copies of the menus/postcards you can't tell.
As always do a test piece before you do your bar top.
Good luck!!!
