To help cards slip easily I have been using a car polish. Does anyone know of a better method ?

Hi Paul24243,
I've used zinc stearate for some six decades now. Here's where I bought the most recent batch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00176......F8&psc=1 Note, despite the word "chalk" in the description, it's not; this is in fact zinc stearate. I see it's no longer in stock, so poke around for an alternative brand. Just put a teaspoon in a paper bag, drop the cards in and shake. After removing them, you may want to rub off the excess with a dish towel. I design and print all my own gimmicked playing cards, and the acrylic spray I protect them with leaves them a bit non-slippery. But a dose of this powder fixes that perfectly. Thomas Henry |

I agree with Thomas, to use the fanning powder.
On a side note: The factory I worked in, Zinc Sterate was an ingredient in many of the special blends we would process. It was shipped to us in 1 metric ton bags. Had a few fall over and spill... It was neither fun nor easy to clean up. |

Thanks Thomas and Wravyn, I will find some and give it a try.
