Can you not just tape it into place?
Why are you putting a magnet in a card. Won’t that mess up the data stored on the card while being read by the magswipe machine
The magnetic strip is what holds the info on the card. 🤦♂️
OP: Is there any reason you can’t just get a new one issued?
This is a non-recharghable magnet paper card from the Bucharest Metro Its just curiosity, I took the strip from a good card, sticked it to aother good one but it wasnt strong enough. Thinking about trying it again when im in Bucharest 1 month later
Isn’t it easier to just jump the turnstiles?
Im not triyng to not pay. I pay for it, I dont gain anything for dong this, Im just curios
What are you curious about specifically? The type of glue they used? If transplanting the strip will make it unswipeable?
If I can put 2 stripes on a crad and work
@sarsaparilyptus We’ve got guards on pretty much all the entrances, so the likeliness of you getting caught is pretty big (not guards as in Half Life, with guns or stuff like that, usually it’s just some old guy watching people there, but still).
My assumption is they were putting a second seperateagnet on the card to stick it to a fridge or some other metal thing…hence my comment🤦♂️
If I had the misfortune to be required to attempt this for some reason, I would use CA glue and a very steady hand, as well as an edge to smooth the strip once applied.
Sticky tape.
