Just one for the knowledge vault...
The other day I had a couple paper 8.5"x11" maps off of CalTopo that I wished I had printed on some Rite in the Rain paper for a trip. Problem was I don't have any Rite in the Rain Printer Paper. Don't have any Thompsons Water Seal either.
Grabbed a spray can of Spar Polyurethane off the shelf and gave the paper a coat (not enough to make everything glossy or run or soaked, but enough that after a minute of sitting the paper was wetted out).
Let it dry overnight, and crumpled it up in a glass of water and left it for a few minutes.
Inkjet printed sheet came out with "no drips, no runs, no errors".
Pencil writes and erases great on the treated paper.
Works good, and is a lot less messy than the stuff we used to have to paint onto our full sized paper topo maps.
