what works best to remove designs on cards,
nail varnish? white spirit?

by **jim ferguson** » Feb 4th, '10, 19:00

Do you mean the whole card or part of ?

If it is the whole of one side then the easiest and best option would be to just purchase a deck of blank facers/backers. If you are only wanting to remove part of the face or back (from bicycle cards) then try a good quality soft rubber.The problem with nail polish remover and wotnot is the smell will probably linger on the card

Nail varnish remover on a cotton wool ball or for more intricated/delicate removing, an ear bud. Bud :-)

I find a replacement card works best

It certainly would if it was a signature, but I think he means the actual printing on the card

Made up Monte Cristo deck using just an ink rubber (or "eraser", perhaps :oops:

). Bit stronger than an ordinary pencil rubber and takes less time. Think Andy Nyman suggests fine steel wool (?) in GET NYMAN DVD but I found that leaves "scarring" of sorts
