50-coat varnish is actually a 2-part ultra refined epoxy that goes on
clear and is tough as nails. It can be a little tricky to apply the
first few times you try, so if you buy it, test it a few times to get
the hang of it. No clue whether it will adhere to the previous coat,
but I've used it over shellac and over polyurethane with no problem.

Is that the same sort of thing as Envirotex?

Yep. Envirotex Lite (I've never seen Envirotex normal?), Aristocrat,
Famowood Glaze-Cote (which is a thinner formula than any other I've
seen, makes a slightly thinner coating, of course you could wait for
it to 'set up' to the thickness that the other two have). It's strong,
but flexible enough that it won't crack from most wood shifting.
