I had my fire wallet from Theatre Magic for about 2 weeks and I'm having a blast.
The tin or aluminum or ? on top of the wick in the middle has come off. This protects the top center of the wallet from the flame. I emailed Theatre Magic this morning but I thought I would try here so I can take care of it right away. I wish to glue the protective piece back onto the center but I'm not sure which adhesive to use. I guess it has to be impervious to heat and somewhat flexible since it is being opened and closed in the center. Anybody know what they use? Thanks, Ihor

I contacted a Theatre Magic rep and was told to find out myself and then let them know what I found out.
I tried rubber cement. (unsuccessful) Crazy Glue (seems to be holding but will see what happens with heat) Ihor

OK
I think I got it. To review: I needed to reattach the aluminum center top piece to the gimmicked part of the wallet.This protects the center inside leather/vinyl part from melting. The wallet is from Theater Magic. I emailed them but they didn't know which adhesive to use to reattach the aluminuum piece. The box said "Made in China", so that is probably why they didn't know. I guessed that I needed an adhesive that is heat resistant, flexible and bonds aluminum to aluminum. What I tried: Rubber cement didn't hold over a few hours. Crazy glue held for about a day & then one side became unglued. Epoxy putty for metal from Home Depot didn't work. I bought a roll of aluminum foil from the plumbilg department in Home Depot. One side was adhesive. I cut to size and applied using the adhesive that was on the one side of the roll of foil. This held for about an hour - one side came off. Conclusion: I reglued both sides with "Glue Stick" That did the trick. I wish I would have tried that to begin with. I have plenty of these sticks sitting around in my junk drawer. I hope this helps anyone with a similar problem. Ihor

You can also try a Hot Glue Stick. Works in my wallet.
