Tarot Card Care – Sicky Tape Residue

chrisstavrous

First of all, I am not certain that this is the correct forum to be posting this question. It seems to fit better here than the other areas. Please feel free to move it if necessary.

Also, I am guessing that somewhere in this forum community I can find this information has already been addressed; I just cannot find it – I was gifted a tarot deck by a friend. On the back of four of the cards is a sticky tape reside. Evidently she had them hanging on her wall for a time.

This makes the deck not very practical for use because I cannot give them a good shuffle. Does anyone have a recommendation for a way to remove the stickiness that will not destroy the cards?

Thanks!
Try unsticking it with some blu tack, but soften it up first. Oh and press softly as the aged residue might rip the card while been lifted. If you can reduce the stickiness then I think problem solved.
