"too flowable" may be hard to measure or prove. However, the fact that it left stains indicates there is something in it that is damaging to your health. Just think, it may be staining your insides and obviously that could have future effects such as birth defects, alzheimer's or even poor vision. Is the container properly labled with a warning.

Ouch!

Reminds me of the time I was sorting out some cards and they fell of the table onto the carpet, I wheeled back my wheelie chair and rolled right over some cards. Turning them over was like a lottery, land, land, goblin, mox diamond.

Fortunately I didn't rate the diamond at the time but I remember going to the craft shop to buy a flower press to see if I could straighten it out. The first time I tried I screwed it down so hard the corrugated cardboard liner of the flower press left even more ridges on the card. Then I wet the card slightly and pressed without the cardboard. It seemed to work so I got it damp again and repeated the process several times but it never recovered. Now it is slightly larger than all my other cards, and I dare say a little thinner.

We banned drinks from the table after an incident involving orange juice, that sort of sticky never comes off.

If you steam up some cloth and put the card on a hard surface you can potentially iron out wrinkles. Its hit or miss, and the card isn't the same after of course. Wouldn't try it on foils tho.

I've done the chair thing a couple times. Let's just say that the card stacks around my computer chair aren't exactly the best plans ever.

Thankfully we're moving to a new home and I'll have 'the card room' so such things will be far less likely...

This! This! This!

We had a rule, beer on the table means you serve everyone else beer for the rest of the evening.
squt: Sweet! That's the best trade - one that doesn't cost a thing.
