Unfortunately, the only way to get rid of them is to sand down the that layer. Be careful when sanding that you don't accidentally sand through all of the layers of the polyurethane and sand through the finish!

It is very important to first prime the MDF. The first coat absorbs a lot of paint / primer. This is mainly because of the way the wood fibers are oriented. The problem with lacquer over paint is that the lacquer finish uses lacquer thinner as the solvent for the lacquer finish. Lacquer thinner is very good at dissolved most all paints both oil and latex. Personally I have never tried to put a lacquer finish over a painted surface. However, you can put an epoxy finish over a painted surface. MDF paints very well. It is very important to first prime the MDF. The first coat absorbs a lot of paint / primer.

It talks about creating a finished table top that has photos embedded in an epoxy resin. The Kleer Koat epoxy resin is photo paper friendly. Lacquer is a strong solvent that will dissolve many types of plastics. I am pretty sure that the lacquer thinner will damage the photograph's image. Hi Cheryl,
