Comments about Aquaseal Map Seal Waterproofing for Maps:

I don't use a GPS, prefer paper maps. I had used this product years ago on topo maps and looked for it for some recently acquired maps. I plan on tracing a nearby river and bought 8 maps. Instructions state one bottle will coat both sides of 6-8 topos but I'm having a hard time spreading the liquid thin enough to cover that many. I'll probably be able to coat 5-6 with one bottle. Good thing I ordered 2 bottles!

Simple to apply & use. Should leave at least 10 minutes between the 2 coats on one side of a map, and the full 30 minutes between sides.

I used this on an inexpensive paper map to check it out & it passed with flying colors(wish my camp spray waterproofed as well on clothing). You must follow directions,brush in well,be patient & your maps will last in the rain.

I soaked a map with this product of the Pinhoti Trail / Mt. Cheaha because it was a basic paper. I knew it would get wet from my perspiration during those typical HOT / HUMID days on the trail. It worked...I kept checking and checking and checking to see if there were any wet spots on it since I carry the map in my cargo pockets for quick access. Success! no wet spots...

If you use maps, you will find that this product will extend the life of them tremendously. I have used Map Seal often over the last 15 years and still have maps after ten years that have been folded and refolded and are still usable. Application can be a little tricky but worth the effort. Pinning the map to a large piece of cardboard can help reduce wrinkling and the fact that they are water-proofed is a real plus. I prefer a good map to a GPS and while motorcycle touring I don't have to worry about a map not lasting for an entire trip. (Coast to Coast).Here are a couple of pics of a map, circa 1997-98, treated both sides, and used often

Product does not work as described and you would be better off having the maps laminated. I was left with aeronautical sectionals that were wrinkled as the solution dried and it caused some ink to run makeing it illegible.
