Learn how to successfully remove gum stains
I found a box of 89 hockey cards, and I had to open them up. I found some great cards right away, but I noticed that they had severe gum stains. A 15 minute soak took care of it. This is the full demonstration. I hope this helps you when you run into this issue.

I have a 1981Joe Montana rookie card with excellent corners and Centering but has a gum stain. I’ve been waiting for this video. Have all the products to give it a try but it’s nerve wracking for sure

@kurtscardcare 5 месяцев назад

Why don’t you get a different card with gum stains on the back first. Don’t be nervous practice first 👍🏼

Soaking a card in distilled water is still risky. Would a card grader know it?

Off the topic of this video, but im excited i got my kit in today. Is there mineral spirits in the wax? Seems like that would be rough on paint?? Just Has that smell i dunno.

@kurtscardcare 6 месяцев назад

Awesome, I’m excited for you to work on your stuff. I don’t put any perfume in the polish. It does have a little bit of a raw scent. I do use some petroleum distillates in the base. Every time I do something with card polish that’s the same stuff I use and make so your cards are gonna be all good.

Is there any cards you can't soak?

@kurtscardcare Месяц назад

@@dusksfinds yes, Pokémon and TCG cards can’t do a complete soak. Same with modern paper style cards like Bowman, Upper Deck, NBA hoops, non-chrome stuff. I have methods for stuff like that, but don’t soak it.

I have 2 Bo Jackson rookie cards. One has gum stains and the other one has a stain on the front. They were fresh out of boxes I bought from BBCE. So pack fresh. Your techniques give me hope that they can be salvaged. Do you accept cards from viewers to work on?

@kurtscardcare 6 месяцев назад

I hope you can make an improvement, I was really happy with this. I don’t take on the cards personally, I make the products and as many demonstrations as I can or unique little stuff like this.

Hi, I have a question that’s unrelated to this video but does your polish work on “Shining” Pokémon cards from the 2002 Neo Destiny set? They have a more embossed/textured look to the holo versus the normal smooth Star holo.

Any idea if this works on wax stains (on the back of a card) the same as gum stains. Your card wax works well in removing wax from the front of a card but not the back. Thanks.
