E, DanielBarry, me thinks it is possible to remove these cards without soaking them.
Firstly, I wonder if people who are removing cards from scrapbooks actually remove an entire page and put it into the bath, or simply turn over the page and dampen the back of where the card is adhered, moistening it enough to release the card on the front....
It is the secondary process of full nudity bathing in a giant pool to then remove remnants off the back of the card that I have issue with. Not because I am all too fussed about the removal of glue, but because one man's dunking for that purpose is another man's dunking for later stretching and trimming. I still don't see how anyone has dealt with the issue of boundaries, and quite clearly from a lot of responses there are a wide wide range.
For me, I would prefer a black and white situation, even if the detection and prosecution of its tenets were hard, difficult, near impossible, or there were none.
1. Don't do anything to the cards.
2. Do whatever you like to the cards.
Anything in between to me has no real meaning as I can have no hope of knowing if one man's steak was simply another man's jerky.
