Hi there
I'm looking for a way to soften bicycle cards. I have noticed that every so often an older deck (quite quickly) becomes very soft. the cards loose their snap and spring. I presume this is something to do with use (breaking down the fibres) and possibly moisture. If anyone knows of a way to soften a deck quickly and easily I would appreicate knowing about it. PMs prefered - thanks Cheers Steve |

Springing them from hand to hand many times does the trick for me. About half the springs with the cards facing one way, reversing the pack for the other half.
This is also how you can get the "pop" out of a warped deck of cards. Very effective for this purpose.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".
