looking after playing cards

[antthecat]

i will be testing a card to see how resiliant it is to hot ash, my home game is a smoky affair so i think its right that tonight ill lay a lit cigarette(taylor not roll up as that will go out) and see how long it is before the card gets marked.

Can you take a card, bend it and then put it in the microwave (full power is probably best) to see if that helps it?  It might be best to put it in a shallow bowl of water, as microwaves work best on water.

just got the card from the washing machine and it got kinked but it did not remove any colouring. tonight im going to try the cigarette tonight. will try the microwave in a bit also.

How about Soaking one in left over Curry Sauce, and then seeing how clean it is after a wipe!!!

Some of the curry sauce"s out there look a bit radioactive in colour!

There"s a whole new study area there.  Which curry stains playing cards the most?  Tandoori would be pretty good I"d guess, with a korma being the least effective.  But we need evidence, obviously.

i have put a ciggi on a card and it took a few seconds to affect it so its safe for a few seconds. im not a curry fan so i might give a few cards to people at walsall for them to try out.

I eat curry regularly. I would be happy to test a card on a few different sauces.
