Re: Glue for playing cards?

Yes, that is dry mount tissue. I'm not familiar with that brand.

This is the excellent brand that I use:

Re: Glue for playing cards?

I owned and sold two Lassen Card Geniis.

I much prefer Eoin O'Hare's Alignment Jig. It doesn't have a lid. That allows me to use my banding iron to tack the card layers in place before popping it into the T-shirt press.

Re: Glue for playing cards?

Years ago, based upon Bob's recommendation, I bought that label-maker. I used it twice and was unhappy with the results. The resultant card is too soft and doesn't have the proper snap. Then I came to my senses and began using dry mount tissue and a commercial T-shirt press. Dry mount tissue is the ...

And Penn noticed the two card cases on the table. Hmm. Why does one deck require two card cases?

Guys, I opened the panel of my Zig Zag card and turned the card sideways, so the panel was pointing upward. I closed the panel.

I successfully constructed a four-layer gaff. Just because I can, doesn’t mean I should.
