Dear all,
Question for those who like to split cards, as I'm attempting to make a split face card (eg half Queen of Clubs/half 2 of Hearts). The card splitting is going fine. Basically, I remove half the thin part of the Queen of Clubs and half the thin part of the 2 of Hearts. However, when I attempt to rubber cement the thin 2 of hearts (face) to the thick Queen of Clubs & Back, there is a very noticeable discoloration from the rubber cement visible through the white of the glued face. Any advice on this, maybe use less rubber cement?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Re: Card Splitting - Making Split Face Cards
You could try a spray adhesive, but the secret to making the best gaffed cards is to use dry mounting tissue.
My advice is to purchase the e-book, "The Gaff Factory by Craig Matsuoka".
