This helps to maintain the integrity of the written text or drawing despite exposure to water.
Why dont you put water on an oil fire?
Oil is usually lighter than the water, and would float on top of it and still continue to burn. And sometimes, adding cold water causes a very powerful blast of the fuel. You should know that you should never add even a drop of water onto hot oil in a frying pan; this is the same thing. The water causes the fuel to splattering, thus spreading the fire and making it burn more intensely.
