[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 500580, member: 4095"] Hi All, I had a spare moment this morning so thought I'd put in a little work on a couple of my mocs. Both mocs have bubble fails on one side and the top but the figures have never been removed. I didn't want to glue the seal on either of these as you would be able to see it and for the fact that they weren't intentionally opened. The Top Loader method seemed to be the best course of action so I made a paper template around each bubble and placed it inside the Top Loader. I then slid some thin card behind the template and using a metal rule cut the bubble window out using a scalpel. It didn't take very long to do and now means that each bubble is fairly secure and hopefully will prevent any further problems with the seal. It's a good alternative to glueing the bubbles back in place and means I can display them now without fear of the bubbles falling off (even though I'm not sure if they'll fit inside an acrylic case anymore ).
