flash paper

Postby nikyas » Feb 14th, '07, 15:33



every time i used a flash paper on a card, it will leave a yellow/black residue.

Is every flash paper like this or am i using low quality ones?

thanks

if you were slightly more specific about how you are actually using the paper i could be of some help.
if by "on a card" you mean you're putting a piece of paper on a card then lighting it you will get this resiude although it really should come off with the use of a licked thumb.

What?


The only time this has happened to me is during 'In A Flash' - I'm assuming that's what nikyas means when explaining when flash paper comes into contact with card.

There's nothing you can do about it - however it makes the burnt hole look more authentic.

If the chosen card is signed, give it away, burnt back an' all, as a souvenir. Just replace from another deck.
