Anyone here whitegloves22 on eBay?

There's a Palitoy 45 fire sale going on - a sign of things to come.

Haha, that made me laugh but I don't think it's related Andy. That seller has been trying to move his collection for months now, before any of this came to light.

I did a simple experiment to see if i could seal part of a blister to a german cardback using materials that were available in the early 90's and this is the result

I've discussed the details of the experiment and how to use it to seal full blisters with Joe_o and i think it's safe to say for now myth plausible .

Glad you posted this Batman and yes I do believe that your test was conclusive proof that you can seal bubbles to cards with minimal effort.

If it's not clear to those looking a the pictures, the side of that original bubble was sealed by Batman to the blue area behind the figure and then the rest of the bubble was cut away so you can see how just well the plastic had attached to the card.

In my opinion if you had original bubbles and cards, sealing them together would be pretty easy. I can assure you guys that Batman's test was not carried out using thousands of pounds worth of tooling and machinery either..

heh, I did say how you do it back on page 51, but no-one responded to it, it's ok folk, I'm used to it, I'll just go off now and cry to myself

Here's what I put:

"With Farthest From and work going on, trying to pull info together has been difficult, however I can say where a lot of folk keep referencing machinery needed to heat seal, it's not difficult. Essentially it can be done with a standard heat press. Each press base is removable and has a padded plate depending on what what you pressing on to (t-shirts etc). Create a modified plate with a cavity for the card to sit within and a further recess for the bubble. Bubble in first, card on top, pull down the iron (heat comes from behind) and press down. You experiment with time and temperature to get it right, too short bubble falls off, too long bubble turns to glue or singe the card. Lift up iron, take out card and the room temperature is enough to cool it instantly, just like vinyl plastic on cotton fabric."

Lol! Next time use pictures Dave! Well, with Batman's test pictures and Dave's write up there shouldn't be any shadow of a doubt that it's a simple thing to do at home with pretty basic machinery.

What's next on the list of things we need to debunk? :lol:

I' d like to get more details about the process of sealing you used, but can understand you don't want to publicly reveal this.
