Reply To: Protecting Card Terrain

Got the battle systems terrain and I do pen the edges with coloured felt tips (don’t use black as it looks terrible), then if there’s a bit I think is going to fray (usually any sharp points and or “tabs” used in construction if you intend to break it down for storage after every game), then I use normal superglue with a brush applicator and “paint” the edges (not over the printed card). You need to do it after you’ve penned the edges, but it ends up setting like a hard plastic and stops any fraying (you can actually repair any fraying that’s already happened using the same method).

Looking at that infinity terrain however, it looks VERY sturdy (compared to the battle systems stuff), and you might want to think about just leaving it assembled all the time (should make it last a LOT longer). I know the earlier infinity cardboard terrain was designed so that you put the empty retail boxes inside to further strengthen them, not sure if the same technique is used on these.
