An extract from my own learning curve.... Pritt stick for gluing the paper to the tube (use an old credit card to scrape off all but a very thin layer of the glue) and then umpteen coats of cheap firm hold hair spray from lidl / aldi to seal and protect the paper & ink.

Hint... Placing the tin of hairspray (or any spray paint / varnish for that matter) in a jug of hot water helps with the spray 'mist' and also speeds up the drying / recoat time.
