If the "evaporate off" part is not critical, try Liquid Plastic or any similar product. It's a polymer used as a varnish. It might need to be thinned down, but when applied to paper, the paper becomes very translucent and tough. I used it to coat some National Geographic maps once, and I noticed they became almost transparent. A five dollar can will last a long time.
