Blister Card Easy Restoration for water-damaged for NIP. Feedback and alternate methods welcomed! This works for me though.​



Did you get any ink bleed on it, or water stains? Do you have a water filter/conditioner? I have extremely hard water, so I'd probably use bottled water if I do it. I have every trailer on card and some are pretty warped.

Any tip for repairing a torn card? I have a 3061 Coke combo, the card is torn half across just above the bubble. I have been looking to just buy a replacement, but I haven't seen a 3061 in years. Not to be confused with the 3061B.

I thought about wetting it, and just putting a fine line of Elmers glue across the tear and pressing it with weight for a day. But given the rarity, I don't want to ruin it more trying to fix it.

I have RODI water. No ink bleed at all or water stains. It turned out amazing. I've done this on boxes too, they are already water damaged, I'm just reshaping them.

Whenever I use elmers glue on sticker rejuvenation, I mix it with a little water. Not sure what to do on a blister card.

As always YMMV do at your own risk! I'd test on something old first.
