Art project help I want to glue some old pics to a coffee and need some advice?

[Andrew D]

I want to take old pics and news paper clippings and glue them to a coffee table. Any suggestions on what to use to glue to surface and what I can use to cover it like a clear coat to protect it? I want something to coat the stuff i glue but will also fill in low spots so the surface of the table is still smooth and it has to be clear so you can still see the art work. Thanks I hope someone has some answers I am just looking for help with my hobby.
