I have briefly read about soaking cards on here but I don't recall reading where it took a couple hours, let alone overnight?
I thought it would take 15 minutes, maybe a half hour tops, but I guess that all depends on the glue used prior?
When you say overnight, I have a hard time understanding that the card wouldn't be completely saturated and most likely destroyed?
I will say, you guys are braver than me as I have no plans, not that my cards need them anyways, to ever soak cards.
