I used to put clear contact paper (shelf lining my wife had) on maps. Water would still get in the edges in heavy rains. Some problem with air bubbles -- but the method served well for many years. Living in the desert now, I don't bother. I assume those interested are aware of Write-in-the-Rain paper & notebooks used by foresters and surveyers Field guides were mentioned. I don't recall who asked the question or where the asker lives. But note that the U.S. Forest Service publishes some local field guides & manuals on water resistant paper -- at least in the Northwest. The ones I have are in house pubs for employers and contractors from the mid 1980's. (Guide to Common Forest Zone Plants -- Willamette, Mt.Hood, & Siuslaw NF, for example) But I assume they still do that sort of thing. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed May 06 1998 - 21:47:56 PDT
