Title: Repairing Invisible
Description: How to repair

I'm just wondering if anyone here "repairs" their worn out invisible decks themself. This applies to the more expensive decks out there that use similar principles. What chemicals do you use to apply on the card to get it working well again? Getting a replacement deck off the net can be a little expensive; especially if it is only one of two cards in the deck that has become more worn out then others.

I've read somewhere that Clear Acrylic Spraypaint can be used. Has anyone tried it yet? The last thing I want is ruining my deck.

Actually some magic stores do sell the thing to "fix" the cards. But someone told me that normal hair spray should do the job. I tried it and I think I used too much...end up ruining all the cards. >_< Maybe you just spray abit to see if it works?

Some of these decks are expensive. And I'm not talking about Invisible decks.

Heard that hairspray is bad. What is a good brand of chemical to buy?

If you use the "chemical", do you just spray the card you want to repair or do you use it on the whole deck so that it is more consistent?

Use Testor's DullCoat on the cards. It should work. Since the same spary is used to make the cards, another layer of the spray should work.

Hair sprays or acrylic sprays are different kinds of sprays and they will damage the cards(i.e. ink smudges).
