Well, I clear coated the PF in the original post. And it was a disaster. Was using Polycrylic, which I had used before, but half way through applying the second coat the can started spraying essentially foam like one of those bathroom foam cleaners. Ended up with an area from about 6" below the drops, about 4 to 5 inches wide which had hundreds of small bubbles. Ended up sanding entire pf, multiple times, with three day wait in between each coat, and 5 coats which are probably the thickness of 2.5 to 3 coats with all the sanding, and the bubbles are gone. But the process turned the clear amber, so I now have a pf that is bubble free, but looks terrible due to the amber discoloration. A couple of bubbled pics, and a few of the final result.

Quoted from desiArnez:Clear is like frosting. Or dry wall mud. You slather it’s on and sand it smooth. The sanding is the art. And the wait.
True, and I don't mind the sanding, or the wait. The hundreds of bubbles from a bad can of clear, and the amber color. Not so much. Will try either Varathane, or Spraymax if I am brave enough to try it on another play field.
