Default Opinions on Soaking/Pressing

Posted By: Hal Lewis

I don't see how using ONLY PURE WATER to clean a card can be considered wrong.

They clean the Mona Lisa that way, don't they? (They certainly use something to clean it)

If I accidentally spilled a drop of glue on a card, I would quickly try to wipe it off with water... so I can't see anything wrong with doing the same thing AFTER the glue has dried.

If a "crinkle" or two gets flattened out in the process, I am not really bothered by that fact... as long as the card is still untrimmed and in the same dimensions.


Do "soaked and pressed" cards end up THINNER??

Do they end up with the same "stiffness"??
