Soaking A Cheap Beater
This past week I picked up a few glue covered Carolina Bright cards, very cheaply on EBay. The first card came out pretty good, just about everything came off. It took 20 minutes from start to finish.
For someone that wants to soak for the first time, this is what I did. I used luke warm distilled water in a plastic soup bowl. Submerged the card for 10 minutes, removed it and felt around for a loose / weak edge to start the pulling process. If you find no loose edges, don't start tugging, re-submerge it. I found a loose edge, loosened it up a bit, then submerged it for another 5 minutes. The rest of the glue came off easy, in a complete layer.
If you noticed part of the card is coming off with the glue, stop immediately and and start from another end. Try not to get frustrated.
