Water won't dissolve rubber.

Look on Amazon for rubber cement solvent. Bestine is one.

Q-tips and patience. But first, get a beaten, worn card from the same series as one upon which you're about to declare chemical warfare. Test the beater card with a bit of your thinner. Don't soak the card in it. I think that long exposure to the solvent will have the card ink coming off. Rubbing will remove the ink. So be gentle.

Bestine will soak a bit into the rubber attached to the card, a bit. It'll become flexible, and you'll be able to remove it. Rubbing or pulling at it much will likely result in ink and cardstock coming off, too... so DON"T do that.

Thinners for rubber cement are non-polar solvents. Lighter fluid works the same way, but your card will smell like lighter fluid. Water is a polar solvent. Google "wiki solvent" if you want to learn more about that.


Again, do a test run on a card from whatever series you're messing with, so you can get a feel for how much it takes before you start removing ink, then stay safely short of that.

Please post results, so those who follow can benefit from your results.
