I have soaked many cards and the time spent in the water depends on the glue used. Some come off real quick and others take several hours. Wait until they fall apart easily or you will pull paper from the card also. Play with some that are low grade already first. I usually wash them real gently with wet cotton balls to make sure all the glue is wiped off. As far as what to press them in, I like taking two flat boards that are raw. Not sealed with anything like varnish or stain. Use paper towel on each side of the card and place between boards. Then heavy weight on top. I change the paper towel after 15-20 min.also. The wood will soak a lot of the water up also. I leave them for a couple of days to be sure all the water is gone. I learned not to get to impatient about taking them out.
