<<The trick is to make sure it is COMPLETELY dry before you try to use it. I would wait 48 hours after the blow dry thing before testing it >> I would not recommend applying heat. Better, buy as bottle of 100-strength Russian Vodka. Pour a glass and soak the card in it for 5-minutes (alcohol is an excellent dehydrating agent). Then drink the vodka, and refil the glass. Repeat at least 3-times ar until you have forgotten why that flash card is swilling about in the glass ;o0 WARNING: don't swallow the card.
