Default what kind of coating?

I'm making a fairly large quantity of keychain/luggage tag size items
from inkjet shrink film (think 'shrinky dink'). The problem I have is
that once the shrink film shrinks from baking, the image side is prone
to scratching and will even peel off the plastic. I need some kind of
coating that I can dip the objects (or even spray?) that will only be a
mm thick and form a rock hard, crystal clear encasement for the object.
Any inexpensive solutions out there? spray enamels? Epoxy resin?

Well,
There are quite a few expensive lines you could use, but why not give
clear nail varnish a go - you never know, you may be surprised!!
