Thread: Insulbrite (sp) - Could it work to protect credit cards

Interesting! I hadn't thought of that. I'd also would like to know. Thanks for asking.

I assume you want to protect the magnetic strip? That would not work IMO. If I hold a magnet onto insulbrite, it does hold needles on the other side.

I made a card holder and put HD aluminum foil between the layers. Now planning to repeat the process with the foil seal that you must rip from the top of coffee can--the big 34oz cans,,,? It is almost like metal.

Hmmm, not sure. i just fold aluminum foil and put it into my wallet near the outside of the fold. do some searching on how to find out. must be a way to test it.

One way to find out is to wrap your card with insulbrite and put it above the credit
machine next time you go to the store. A lot of people don't even bother to remove
their credit/debit card out of their wallet. They just put their wallet on the machine.

add that it was done in the hoop on embroidery machine. Very sorry my pix are so large--with ipad--will resize next time.

Lately, my pics will start out super large. That's new, they didn't used to do that. I have to resize using Paint to get them to an acceptable viewable size.
