I seem to remember that there was a product you could bruch on a map (old-school paper type) that would waterproof the thing, while allowing it to still be bendy and foldy -- am I haluncinating again?

So Outrider,

If Bomber gets in liquid form then drinks it,

Will it flow directly to the brain for ingestion? Then he can commit it to memory???

LONG DAY here.....................

I need to go home and partake of some bike therapy!!!!

signer -- will a laminated map still allow me to bend the thing every which way but loose? I didn't think so, which is why I never thought of it as an option --

true... i use the brush on type stuff also and would be a better choice (i usually bend it into submission)

there is a spray called frog juice, that's what you want if you have a problem with ordering my wife can order it for you and drop ship it from the supplier

The laminated maps work really well, especially if you're willing to cut the map on its folds prior to lamination so the the bits inside the folded area stay readable. I use these a lot and they are very durable.

Thanks singer! I appreciate the back up --

Rob -- I've seen that done, but looking at the maps I use, I can nver tell where I'm gonna fold em, ya know?

if they'd only do like they did for the pilots in WWDeuece -- print the maps on silk!
