I find it depends on the plastic and the adhesive on it.
(1) With the clear shiny plastic, the adhesive sticks to the pins. With the
matt blue sold by lace suppliers, it doesn't.
(2) The clear plastic seems softer and the holes do tend to close up. The
matt blue is harder and they don't.
(3) Possibly because manila card is soft and fibrous, the plastic doesn't
stick as well and will allow the plastic to lift. It sticks firmly to the
harder shiny pricking card and doesn't lift. I use a lazy susan rather than
crochet hook anyway.
