Subject: RE: Maps


Long ago, when I was in the boyscouts there was a laquer, spraycans
wasnt invented *s*. that you painted on the map. After drying you had a
plastic covered map. Then the printing was lifted into the plastic layer
and the paper could be removed by soaking in water. Then you had a
plastic map that you could use for wrapping sandwiches in... 
Maybe this type of paint can still be found. 
The actual problem is that the paper is disintegrating.
Maybe a printing/copying company could copy a map over to parachute
nylon...
