Just a thought.......

.....If you are going to put the table outdoors, I'd scan or make colour photocopies of the photos you are going to use first and then use these....the sun and rain will eventually fade the images no matter how well you cover/treat them.

A good printer can scan and make excellent copies of photos and then the laminate or PVA glue will bring up the 'shine'.

Never use originals...especially if they are precious to you. At least by using a photocopy then your precious photos will still be safe.
