Wow! What a difference, Leon. Great job!

How long did you let it dry after pulling it out of the water? Did you pat it dry with a towel? Did you put books on it to flatten it out? If so, how long did you leave the books on it?

I've never done this before and would be interested in trying it with mine.... Thanks!

I took a small glass bowl and put tap water in it. I stuck it in the microwave for 90 seconds to heat it up. I dropped the card in it. After less than a minute the whole piece of notebook paper almost completely floated off of the card. I took the card out and just pulled the paper gently off of the back of it. It was almost completely off already. I then pat dry the card with a piece of regular ole paper towel. Then I sat a top loader on top of it so it wouldn't curl too much. For the next 30 minutes I would pick up the top loader every few minutes so the card wouldn't stick to it too much. Then after about 30 minutes to an hour I took the top loader off of the card altogether and let it dry the rest of the way. Later that evening it was completely dry and I put it in a sleeve and top loader as I do all of my raw cards. I probably only left the card in the water for less than 3-4 minutes. Really, the less the better. That notebook paper started floating off of it in less than a minute...hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions. It was super easy. When I saw those 3 on ebay, 2 of them had been snapped up immediately and I snapped up the last one asap. Best money I have spent recently. regards
