I emailed BUSA on the best way to protect as I will be using solartex for the first time.... They reccomended to me a couple very light coats of a minwax water based polyurethane.
I posted this link to them:

And the reply was:
That’s the stuff!!</p>
We use the same thing and have had very good luck with it, I believe you can get it in gloss, semi-gloss, and flat what ever is appropriate for the aircraft you’re modeling.</p>
Just remember it only takes a couple of light coats. Don’t but it on all thick and heavy not only that just added weight but if applied to thickly it can yellow the white! NOT GOOD!
