Playing Card Coating

You will get a 4 oz (118 ml) bottle of genuine playing card coating. This is the real stuff. This coating is used by the biggest playing card manufacturers. It produces a wonderfully smooth and slick surface. The cards will fan and shuffle perfectly. The bottle has a flip top that makes dispensing a brease. You will be able to coat at least 50 sheets (front and back) with one bottle.

I have tried and tested many other ways to coat playing cards but none even comes close to this coating. This is real playing card coating. Anything else is a bad substitute.

This coating is a chemical and should be cleaned up and cared for with a bit of thought (see safety instructions below). You can make it thinner with water if you want to experiment or if the fluid has thickened too much due to extended exposure to air. Once the coating has dried it will repell water.

The coating is in its liquid state a milky fluid. Once dry it is completely transparent.

The best way to apply this coat to cardboard is to use an airbrush system. Dilute the coating 1:1 with water for use with an airbrush. If you do not have an airbrush you can also use a hard rubber roller. Dispense a line of coating on the top of the cardboard. Use the roller with modest pressure to roll the liquid with one stroke over the cardboard. Once the coating is spread out into a thin film it will dry fast.

You might also want to look into building a dual side coater. For details go here.

The coating liquid is a waterbased coating. This means it is environmentally friendly and uses none of the typical hazardous solvents you find in spray can based clear coatings. The only chemical that outgases from this liquid is Ammonium Hydroxide. That means you should
