          What are you curious about specifically? The type of glue they used? If transplanting the strip will make it unswipeable?

              Of course you can, you’re only striping one at a time. You could put as many as the physical card can hold.

              Best way is to apply glue the back using a regular glue stick. Put it in a book for a day till it dries. Then you’ll need to laminate the card with a non glossy coating to protect it.

                I think the practical limit would be 4, for each of the orientations the card can go into the reader.

                    Possible, but we’d have to see the reader. The ones I know for transport systems are not the swipe type, but the put card in a slot type, so it needs to stay the same size or get lost in the innards of the machine (don’t ask me how I know… I was young).

        @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).
