Idea's spawn up everywhere here .....
Just finished the hairspray test and it kind a worked ok needs refinement !!
patchy I'd call it !!
The paper dried fairly quick and you can see a definate Gloss to it ,
wetting the paper the hairspray turns slimy and dissolve's slowly and when
you rub it then you can feel the texture of the paper as you rub through the
slime.
I used regular old inkjet printer paper nothing fancy.
The newly coated paper survived the Laser Printer ok ... sure does smell
good when you Iron the paper !!
I'll try it again and apply more Hair Spray, I think that the paper absorbs
a fair bit of it....
