In the thread about water soluble paper, the comment about using hairspray
as a water soluble barrier caught my interest. My primary hobby is model
railroading - electronics gets into the act in loco control and signal
systems.

We commonly use hairspray as a spray adhesive in scenery construction. The
cheaper the better because the cheap ones have more solids and glue the hair
in place. I never thought about it before, but obviously the stuff has to
be water soluble. It might be worth a look if the hair spray solids can
tolerate the fuser temperature.

I also got some ideas for other applications from the comment. You never
know what nuggets of ideas you will find on these mail lists ;-))
