<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1190162, member: 24633"]Sometimes the slide will be inserted too far by the manufacturer, and it can be hard to remove. Barehanded, it's pretty easy to remove, but then you have fingerprints on the slides. It's not a good idea to use something like Windex to remove the prints because the surfaces of the slides can be in close proximity to raw coins. <b>The best way to remove the slides is to use a pair of tweezers.</b></p><p> </p><p>You should also be carfeul when replacing the slide after the coins are in place. The leading edge of the slide is sharp and can scratch the surface of a coin. The easiest way to keep this from happening is to leave the rear slide in place when inserting the coins, and press the coins all the way into the slot. This will leave sufficient clearance so that the front slide will not contact the coins when it is reinserted. Once the front slide is in place, you can then turn the page over and press slightly on the back slide to reposition the coin so that it isn't touching either slide.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
