Summary

[edit]
Description

On my latest series of <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/atomictaco/sets/72157617100898316/with/3822093077/">ORCA</a> mods, I folded mine in half. It was actually quite easy--anyone can do it (but I'm not sure why you'd want to).

1. Add water to a pan, heat to boiling. 2. Carefully position card over steam. After a few seconds, the card will become malliable. Bend card to desired shape.

NOTE:: Steam is very hot. Gloves are recommended.

It's very sturdy. I have no problem throwing it in my pocket or applying direct pressure to it. Because of the way I managed to fold it (I didn't use gloves--it was hot and hard to fold) it turns the card onto a clip. Theoretically, you could clip the card onto your person, but <a href="https://twitter.com/evilbusdriver/status/3900859521" rel="nofollow">I'm not an idiot</a>. I will be modifying this card further, however it will not <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/atomictaco/3773714001/">involve acetone</a>.

So, does it still work? Sometimes. I tried it on two different readers at University Street station. I tapped twice at each reader--I wasn't taking <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/atomictaco/collections/72157614583889551/">Link</a> and didn't really want to pay for a trip I wasn't taking.

Attempt one scanned on the second try. Attempt two scanned on the third try. Hours later on a different reader, attempt three scanned on the first try. Attempt four took more than six tries to read the card.
