I don't have the video right here to confirm, but didn't he keep the rubbing in the grail diary, held closed by the rubber band? That would keep the rubbing fairly dry, but would mean the dairy would have gotten wet, even if held tightly closed by the rubber band. Ever seen how a book swells up when it gets a little water on the edges of the pages?

Oh well - it’s just a movie, right?
