juggle New user 84 Posts	Posted: Nov 23, 2009 07:49 am 0 Sorry, I don't have much experience with coins. How do I fix a broken rubberband of the flipper coin in a Mirage set?
TC Ryder Elite user Florida 494 Posts	Posted: Nov 23, 2009 04:54 pm 0 I just fixed one. You have to pop the insert out, get the old rubber band out put a new rubber band in. When you put the insert back in do it with double stick tape not super glue. Any questions PM me. TC www.realcoinmagic.com "Real Coins for Real Magicians"

Did mine two weeks ago and only problem I had was with the original glue they had used when manufacturing the thing. Short of just scraping with a knife or sanding, I could not get the hard dried residue off the coin or insert. I tried nail polish remover, paint thinner, and even gasoline. Nothing would soften that residue so I could wipe it off clean, ............ so I just left it there. I was afraid the double sticky tape on top of the dried residue would put the insert too high, but it worked just fine and looks great.
TC Ryder Elite user Florida 494 Posts	Posted: Nov 25, 2009 03:00 pm 0 Same thing happened to me and I left the residue there. You also have to make sure all the double stick tape is not hanging over the edges or the coin will stick. Use an Exacto Knife or a razor to make sure the edges are super clean.

Next time try "Goo gone" remover, found in any hardware or car parts store.
