    Does anyone know where I can buy such a thing? I bought some IKEA furniture and they scratch very easily..I don't want that, I'm looking for some kind of clear film that I can stick on top of the furniture to prevent scratches etc and paint coming off?

    Anyone know of such a product?
    color: clear (of course)

    -Thank you

    -No contact paper- this is not what I'm looking for.

    Some other options...
    • glass?
    • clear vinyl?
    • coasters?

    I hadn't heard of anyone doing that, but the only thing I could think of would be to put on a coating of polyurethane

    You can buy clear vinyl at Fabricland, cut it to size but it will slip like a table cloth would.

    Thin sheets of plexi-glass?
    Custom cut to fit each table. Less slipping around.

    I like the polyurethane idea mentioned above.
    Stain resistant and wipes up easily. Use 2-3 coats.
    Use super fine sandpaper between coats.

    mom had a cie* cutting glasses for the living room tables....they cut it the size it needed to ,sanded the edges , and put some kind of '' soft plastic dots'' at some points underneat the glasses to make them not slippy


    * people who replace the Windows do this kind of work
