Have you tried gloss Krylon? I use matt UV-resistant Krylon to spray the model templates before beginning construction.

Future floor wax was quite popular in the model rocketry community until it became difficult to find. Apparently it is now called Pledge Floor Gloss. Future sealed the paint and decals with a terrific deep gloss coat. But those are non-porous surfaces unlike paper.
I still have a bottle of original Future, wonder if it has a collectors value?

Don, does the Krylon protect laser print on card stock? Took away several boxes of laser print models from a previous job, but when creased the colors crack, showing white underneath.
