Gonna work on getting this crease out of Rookie Walter, once I get some practice. 

You got that one easy.  That's not even a soak.  Thats a press and youll be good.

I've watched enough of his videos to know what he does, lol.

I learned to wipe out scratches on chrome cards from him.  Some car wax and a microfiber cloth.  I've made some miracles happen.

So you think a few sprays on the pad, let the card sit on the mats and and round disc's for a day?

Or apply a small amount directly on crease? Or both spray on both crease and black pads?
 Yeah, I've watched about 100 of his videos the last 3 days. Also I was smart enough to go to Michael's, Walmart and CVS to get mats, shammies, isopropyl, distilled water q-tips. Picked up the acrylic rounds and clamps on ebay. Total cost $30?

Kurts great. He seems to be one of the nicest guys I would like to meet. He's a magician and really is fantastic in the teaching process.

But I decided to save $100 and buy my own supplies. Hahaha

Kurt charges $50 for his spray?

Water sprayer? $1 at dollar store
Isopropyl? $3.95
Distilled water? $2.29
3 to 1 ratio on water to alcohol.

But I have NO PROBLEM with Kurt getting $50. I hope the guy makes $500k a year.

Yeah, he applies proven methods to comics and most likely stamps.  

Baseball cards are the most uppity of people ever.  The people that complain about what Kurt does to cards has ZERO idea on conservation.

As for the card I would practice one w spray on the mats.  He only does a soak or spray on the card itself it its a stubborn one.  This one should be a spray on the mat then clamp it.

I don't mind him making money either but no way im spending that much if i can buy my own things.

The stuff he uses for his corners should be able to be bought too.  Just havent got that far into it yet.

I have a Frank Thomas card and a Lemeiux, both rcs, that can be worth quite a bit if I can releive the indents on them.

If I get around to fianlly doing it I will let u know.  I have some Pokemon that could use some prep also.
