    I bought a cracked treasure hunt. My plan is to use blister from regular treasure hunt so I’ll have a mint treasure hunt. Thank you for the video. I had no clue how to do this.

      My pleasure, happy to be of service! Just make sure to soak that card really well all around the blister so that when you pull it off, you dont pull any of the card off with it. 👊😁👍

    Thank you for this video. I recently purchased a RLC TNT Bird Spoiler from a buy/sell site that arrived in the mail with a detached blister. I'm wondering if I should just re-glue the blister or maybe apply some acetone to reactivate the adhesive already on the card ?

    • @HonestDiecast
      @HonestDiecast  2 роки тому

      Hey Windsurfing. Sounds like the factory glue may be insufficiently applied. I would probably just throw a new bead of glue on the blister. 👊😁👍

    Is there anyway to make the blister slightly bigger for a wider car

    • @HonestDiecast
      @HonestDiecast  Рік тому

      You can use a blister from a different car thats wider. Maybe an LB S15 or LB R35? LB Huracan maybe? Something that has wider stance and needs a wider blister. 🤔

    Every time I use the technique it always leaves stains, any advice? Could it be the acetone or another factor?

    • @HonestDiecast
      @HonestDiecast  2 роки тому +1

      Chimaera, make sure you're using a good name brand dry erase like Expo. If you're getting stains then try bypassing the rubbing portion with the pen. Cover the tampo in the ink and let it sit a minute or so then wipe off with a cloth. Repeat as necessary to get the whole tampo off. I hope that helps! 👊😁👍

      If you're talking the premiums, no. The premium cards are double sided laminated. To do those, most people cut the blister flush to the cardon the bottom and sides then reglue the blister back on. 😁👍

    Does it still work with 25% acetone? I bought one without knowing it should be 100% acetone

    • @HonestDiecast
      @HonestDiecast  Рік тому

      It will probably be taking a lot longer to unbond the glue with just 25%. You'll even be ok if you use 70%, but 100% will definitely be the best! 👊😁👍

    I only want to do this because I wanted to display my cars out of the box. Does the acetone area leave a darker shade on the box after doing this or will it evaporate and would go back to normal? Many thanks! :)

    • @HonestDiecast
      @HonestDiecast  Рік тому

      This will do the trick Reanu! As long as you use 100% unscented acetone then you should definitely not have any problems with markings on the card. 👊😉👍

      Unfortunately not Josh. Alcohol won't seperate the adhesive from the card. Acetone is what softens up and seperates the adhesive from the card. 👊😉👍

      That might be it, but if its straight acetone it should be 100% which is what you need. You gotta let it soak good through the card where you can see it soaking through on the other side where the blister is. 👊😁👍

      Sorry CS, this method only works on mainlines and cards without laminated backing. Thats why its not working. Best way and really only way is to cut the blister at the very bottom on the sides and bottom then reglue. 👊😩👍

      You really gotta soak the back of the card on some. Just try to outline the blister from the back with a damp small paint brush soaked in acetone. You should be able to see it soaking through on the front of the card.
