Indirect soaking, capillary moisture, rapid results.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHYDROPUMP™ is the alternative to HUMIDITY STORM™: instead of a closed chamber, it uses high-density EVA foam panels moistened with Anti-Static Shield Spray. The card, protected between Translucent Protective Sheets, receives moisture gradually and by capillary action while already under pressure — the same principle as museum paper restoration techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaster soaking times (30–60 minutes), no box to manage, a single cycle that combines hydration and mechanical pressure from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🎯 \u003cstrong\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Those who want to try HYDROPUMP™ before investing in the full setup. Those looking for a quick approach to waviness and preferring reduced manual labor. Those who already have a press and want to add the foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eHow it works:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Foam activation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Moisten the EVA panels with Anti-Static Spray. They should be just damp to the touch: never saturated, never dripping. The spray serves a dual role: it humidifies the foam and neutralizes electrostatic charges generated by evaporation, preventing the card from attracting dust immediately after restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Sandwich with Translucent Protective Sheets\u003c\/strong\u003e — The card, already cleaned, goes between the two Translucent Protective Sheets. The non-woven fabric protects the holographic surface and distributes moisture evenly over the entire area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Active pressing 30–60 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Card + non-woven fabric between the damp foam, all between the rectangular magnetic plates with 4 clamps at the corners. Moisture penetrates by capillary action while the press works simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Drying and final fixing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Remove the card from the foam, let it breathe for 5–15 minutes on a flat surface. Then dry press for 24–48 hours (without foam, without non-woven fabric) to stabilize the fibers in their new position. Sleeve + top loader at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e💡 To have both HYDROPUMP™ and HUMIDITY STORM™ in a single setup, consider the Complete Professional Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spark \u0026 Polish®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57220669473103,"sku":"SP-KIT-HP-BASE","price":54.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/3138\/1327\/files\/hero_07_2b327b68-a78e-4d7b-87a8-51bbb9b19e3b.jpg?v=1780000578","url":"https:\/\/checkout.sparkandpolish.com\/en\/products\/kit-restauro-base-hydropump","provider":"Spark \u0026 Polish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
