Why Restoration Takes Time
Restoration isn't something that can be rushed without risking the result, and it's worth understanding why.
Every Card Is Assessed Individually
There's no assembly line here. Each card goes through its own inspection and assessment, and the specific combination of techniques used is decided card by card, not applied from a fixed template.
Drying & Setting Can't Be Skipped
The drying and setting stages in the restoration process exist to let a card return to a stable state gradually. Pushing a card through faster than that risks undoing the correction already made, or introducing new damage in the process.
Quality Over Speed
We'd rather take the time a card genuinely needs than return it faster and risk a worse result. That's the trade-off, and it's one we make deliberately.
