However I have read of quite a few people washing their CF cards only to have them dry out and work just fine afterwards. Personally if it happened to me I would no longer trust that card and would replace it. [Gear List | Flickr

I have to save the heart ache of asking my wife for permission to buy another card because I inadvertantly destroyed or lost a card.:o Jim

Calicajun Goldmember  More info | Nope, keep all my cards in a CF case that came with the cards. Have gone on a shoot before, only to find out that there was no card in the camera. The card was sitting at home in the card reader. Remember, Stressed spelled backward is Desserts.

Its a Sandisk II 4GB. I've put it in a card reader this morning and the images are still on it and it seems to funtion properly for a minute. A few of my cards have had a wash at some stage. They are all fine. I was put here to torture camera equipment.
