Default Is it okay to soak a T216?

I've done it with T206s, just want to make sure it's not gonna wreck the thing.

Yes. Clean, cool water. Patience. Change the water.

Blot a bit, then press dry (try to refrain from mashing the water out, some folks think stacks of books and concrete blocks are necessary).

Take a before scan, and an after scan; and post, please.

Personally, I have never tried soaking a T216.

Frank- Just curious, have you tried it with a T216? The glossy stock on some of them might have me a little concerned.


Also, if the card is in really poor shape, as many T216s are, I would be careful the paper doesn't fall apart (again, if it's in really bad shape).
