Thank you for your support of Cardboard Alchemists! This weeks episode is crazy, we talk about a new experimental way to SUPER humidify the card. This allows for working on creases to be much easier than previous humidity methods. We are now working on ways to dry without leaving orange peel look on the card, so far using full coverage of vices over the card, a book press between plates, or a combo of dry blotter then screw down flatteners w vices are some ways we've seen this lizard skin look go away.
These are professional restoration grade materials that must be ordered in bulk. We need to prep the blotters, gore-tex, and polyester by cutting to size for the 6x4 plates before we will ship this pre-order of the new humidity storm stack.

Various forms of DIY humidity stacks can be built also, we talk about using the sham wow orange cloths, breathable cloths, and other things you can try if you want to use things around the house to mimic this new stack.
We would love to hear your feedback once you try this out!

Is it possible to over flatten a card? isn't there some kind of spec on card thickness that graders look at that could fail a grade test
