After watching Kurt "snail trail" to pop out indents while they sat in a humidor, I had a conversation with Grok about how to get cellulose to swell (Will attach Word document conversation with grok)

The idea was to mix distilled water and baking soda to get a ph of 8-10 to get the card to swell on indents and creases, as Grok said this could work and that it would definitely swell more than normal.

This was tested with just room temperature, microwaving the solution, and microwaving the solution and putting the humidor on a heating pad as well.
