I have never tested it but just had the thought of using a Shellac
coat first since Shellac is sort of the universial undercoat for
seperation. However, not sure if the alcohol will also act as a
solvent on the sharpie ink and cause the same problem.

Another possibility is to try water based poly.

I sanded it all off and tried to draw the lines after a coat of poly but the
marker didn't work well.

Do I need to go buy a paint marker or use a different method with the poly.
Please don't say paint with a fine brush.

Thanks
