When lamination starts to peel up...what do you use to fix it?

[GreatDane]

I have a deck, sturdy, but I shuffle it quite a bit.  ONE card has lamination JUST starting to peel from one corner.  I want to fix it without it looking weird.  Anyone else ever have this issue and how did you fix it?  Not that easy of a deck to replace.

You can fix it by ironing it BUT make sure to start with the lowest setting first. Also, you must keep a fabric between the iron and the card (i.e., iron-fabric-card). You can start by ironing just a little bit (you have to be fast while doing so) and check if it's working. Keep repeating at the same spot so that it becomes hotter after every application and hopefully it will stick together. If it doesn't, you can slowly increase the temperature. 

 

I have made several decks for daily practice using the same method.

Iron?  What is this thing you call an iron? 🙂  I haven't owned an iron in over a decade!   BUT I have friends with one.  I either get clothes that come out of dryer wrinkle free or they're dry clean only.  

 

Thanks for the tip!

Pardon me, it slipped from my mind that I'm on an international forum and not everyone may be aware of certain words. Well, in English, variations like Crisps and chips, crosswalk and zebra crossing, cookies and biscuits exists. 

 

What do you call it then?
