The Bend Test ( self )

submitted by 3two Warning: 0%

So I have heard many times that although the "bend test" is an illegitimate test, many bouncers swear by it and will bend your id to the point where it either snaps or creases. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience where they have had one id pass the bend test and one id that fails the bend test, and if there are certain vendors that sell some id's that are more "bendable" than others. I want an id that I would be able to go into bars and clubs with.

Any id that doesnt have an overlay and is laminated right will always pass the test. Every Vendor has them.

The bend test is a thing of the past. PVC states in real life, do not bed. Poly Carbonate states, will snap if bent. Teslin is the only material that bends and even with that, there are different thicknesses for different states. They need to teach bouncers this in, maybe an add on to remedial math studies.

Well at leat in-state the "bend test" is actually valuable cause you can tell the thickness of the Teslin by bending it, for example a lot of fake oCAs used the wrong thickness Teslin which would be very obvious when it's more/less resistant to bending than a physical. Also polycarb can actually bend a bit, although obviously far less than Teslin. I've bent friends' nNYs maybe 10-20 degrees without issues, it's not gonna immediately snap if you try to bend it

Yeah for sure, I agree with you, I'm more referring to all bouncers + buyers thinking every ID can pass a corner to corner test, when in reality only thin teslin ID's are even supposed to be subject to that test. Reminds me of the person who bent their real Ohio in half and posted the video.

lol I would like to see that video. Did it snap or did it just crease?

It just bent, find an old credit card or student card and bend it in half, you'll see what PVC cards look like when bent. As for that video it was lost in the great reddit purge of 2018.
