I'd never seen that before. So I may eventually trying soaking it. Thanks again for the information! Best regards. Jerry.
Post a scan of the card.....I bet it would benefit greatly from a dunk. I, or any of a few dozen guys around here, could talk you through it. It seems counterintuitive to put cardboard in water but trust me. It works....
