Can you use polyurethane instead of Mod Podge?

A water-based polyurethane would be just the thing to use. If you recoat over the decoupage that will make it more durable. I've used polyurethane over the decoupage after I glued it down well first. It takes 8-10 coats to build up the desired depth, but once it is done, it will last forever.
