I use Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic spray, available at most hardware stores, with great success.

I haven't tried future but I don't see why not. As long as it's fully dry. The purpose of the sealer is so the tempid water won't smear and dissipate the ink on the paper. I usually use Krylon brand satin coat in the can. That can be found at Hobby Lobby too if need be.

MicroMark is also another good source for decal paper (www.micromark.com).
