Poop is poop, no matter how ingenious the process (digestion) behind it.

I just choose to support the guy, knowing that perhaps the next great thing is going to come from his very inventive "little grey cells". |

I've order the optically clear teflon tape I found above. If that doesn't work, I may go with the mouse tape on the sticker side and forgo using the Chinese coin side in a routine or I can simply put these away and go on. |

Al,
I also thank you for adding so many references to "poop" in this thread. You can never have too many "poop" references. |

I've never purchased any of Johnny Wong's gaffed coin sets, so I have no first-hand experience with his products. But I would like to know what is meant when it is said that they are "serviceable"--meaning they don't work quite right and have to be tinkered with?
Another point is that the person who sold this set had to know there were problems. You can say the person who originally bought it didn't know there were problems with it, and so they are under no obligation to inform the next buyer, but to my mind, that is dishonest. Because he no doubt did know. |

Al, you had a great idea about printing the stickers on teflon disks. Hopefully Johnny sees this thread and does just that. I have read these threads and wondered if that would be a good solution - not owning a set myself, I didn't know. I do have split coin and cartel coins. No problems with them. I've heard supercoin magnet is very strong but haven't seen complaints about using it. Apparently it is the paper that makes it an issue with double face and super triple face.
I agree that the product should come usable, not require "fixing".
Kelvin

I would rate the machining of the gaff sets I have from Johnny Wong as quite good (good fit, excellent coverage, etc), but there are other known irritating qualities on many of my Johnny Wong sets that make me reluctant to rate his work as excellent. One example of which has been discussed on this thread. On his signature Split coins, the Teflon? material he uses is of lower quality than is found on other gaffs I own and sometimes cause some sticking (but then, that is something easily rectified). I have no such problems with my split coins from Roy Kueppers. Perhaps this has something to do with availability of certain materials where Johnny makes his gaffs. |

Hi all,
I was looking at this feed after I'd ordered my DFSTC and it has just arrived. I wanted to say it works fine right out of the package. No sliding issues, no weird pressure needed, and my hands are relatively dry (someone mentioned that may be part of the issue above). It's possible he's improved it since the original release, or maybe some of them just come out better than others?? |

Is this thread for sticker talk only... or general new tips and tricks about DFSTC... because I would like to add the link to the optically clear teflon tape... It works like a charm |

Thanks you Al Desmond for finding a solution for the DFSTC, and like you said... it works as a charm.

I’d like to buy this type too, but is it fit on dollar size DFSTC?

It's looks like a great substitute of CS Hyde Optically Tape , I will like to take a try.

Good idea Dough - I was thinking graphite lube (dry powder) might work too. Fact is those coins are garbage.
