I tried growing a clear alum crystal on top of an RGB LED board, and grew black diamonds (capacitive crystals) on a string of conductive thread, and a fake mustache, using the instructions I described already in [week 9](https://class.textile-academy.org/2020/loes.bogers/assignments/week09/).

Loved the Oyster Card Nails so went looking for instructions as to how to get the chip out of a card to put it in something else. I found [this Instructable by ProjectSugru](https://www.instructables.com/id/Transform-your-Oyster-travelcard-with-sugru/).

Get a card. Check how much money there's on it. Maybe you don't want to lose 50 euros on this experiment. In the Netherlands, you can check the balance of anonymous OV chipcard [here](https://www.ov-chipkaart.nl/ov-chip-en-gebruik/gebruik/ov-reishistorie-en-saldo-anonieme-kaart.htm).

Put the public transport card in a non-plastic bowl and cover with aceton. I used a glass pot. Let it sit a little while. The tutorial says 6-12 hours, but my card was completely disintegrated within an hour. So keep an eye on it. Carefully take out the coil and chip. Rinse it again in acetone, and then in water. Let it dry for 20 mins or so.
