Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Not quite the solution I was looking for but very helpful nonetheless.
As Thomas Edison once said amid the search for a practical lightbulb: "Progress? We've made lots of progress! We know thousands of things that won't work."

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.

Layne - So far as I know, and within my own experience, Krylon is a fairly benign* material that is unlikely to craze existing finishes and will work over laser or inkjet printing. I have never had an adverse experience with it and use matt uv-resitant krylon as a preparatory and protective coating on almost every paper model I build.
*Benign in terms of its interaction with paper, dyes, and pigments. It contains acetone and tuluene, so you should be careful not to inhale the fumes and to use the same prcaution you would for any product that involves solvents. Don |

I've used Modpodge over paper to simulate a water surface in a few model railroad dioramas and it seems to work well, the advantage being, at least for me, is that it causes no winking.
The other suggestion of using a workable fixative first followed by a gloss coat second also seems to be a viable suggestion. Definitely do trials beforehand. .Derek |

oops, that should be "wrinkling" not a saucy nod to any casual observer...
