I cannot get a good seal with the disc. Any tricks?
1959603
I bought a set of rubber adapters for the set. Large funnels do no work well with the disc.

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals. It comes in a small container and can be purchased at a local hardware store such as ACE. I would apply it with a finger, let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it off. This product may help, but using a rag instead of your finger will spread it around more. I use the silicone grease to coat the seals on the outside compartments to keep them from sticking as well. This is a great seal protector and lubricant, but when used with a rag, it's hard to control where it goes. I do use it on a rag for doing the back side of the seal which is in contact on opening the slide. Hope this was helpful. I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals.

No, there's no trick. It must be a manufacturing defect. I've bought these before and never had a problem. The last one I got had the same problem you have. So what I did was filed down the plastic at the right and left ends of the end cap (the end opposite the USB connections) to make more room for the hard drive. I did this a little at a time so as not to go too far. That worked for me.

It depends on how damaged the disc is. You may or may not need to use the sanding pad first. The step that you will always need is the buffing step using the white solution. I disagree with the other response in that it is very messy. You will get a little bit of the white solution on your fingers, but it is easy to wipe off. The blue solution step is optional. I never use it. After the buffing step I just spray the disc with disc cleaner and wipe it off. It has restored a couple CDs and DVDs that would not play to perfect working order for me.

All you need is to do is to *gently* tap the ears of the cover with a rubber mallet... or the heel of your hand... until it is free. That cover doesn't need to be that tight, BTW. It's on the suction side so you're not sealing it against pressure; hand-tight is sufficient. A bit of Magic Lube (http://smile.amazon.com/Aladdin-Magic-Teflon-Lubricant-Sealant/dp/B00373OTNQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1422133678&sr=1-2) on the O-ring is helpful.

Mine was not sealed down;It should come loose by using your fingers. Mine was easily replaced. If yours is not loose possibly use old knife edge to loosen underneath the seal between jar & seal. Careful not to damage jar.

You need to make sure that slide the outer hinge out correctly!! I had that problem too, until I figured out how to seal it properly!!

Sometimes I have this problem if I don't completely release all of the pressure. If that doesn't work, use a little oil and run it as close to the seal as possible.

Ooooo, maybe Jennifer is right. I have sealing disks, but I also bought extra parts so I can't remember if the extra parts came with the bottles or the extra parts. Sorry I can't remember!

I agree with the gentleman who says, "Take it to a professional." You can damage your disc, and also the machine, if you try to remove it yourself.

Your container may be faulty, but maybe not. The terra cotta disc does dry out. Since I bake every weekend, I take it out and soak it on wateronce a week, then snap it back in. The result is that I don't have the same issue you're having. Try soaking the disc once a week and if your problem goes away, you'll be fine. If not, then I bet there's a defect in the container.

Sometimes I have to push the little centre nob to the side more than once to release the seal. hth

I have never had that problem. I always make sure that the rough part is on the bottom when I seal. I don't know if it matters but you might try it.

You just press the seal together - there should be a plastic tab on the top that you squeeze and run across the top. You sometimes have to squeeze hard to get the bag to seal.

Lots of strength. Try warm water to loosen the seal. Sometimes liquid creates a film that seals the lid to the glass. My initial review of this product was somewhat unfavourable because of how hard I find it is to open these bottles. Try holding the glass with a dry towel and wear rubber gloves. Or use one of those rubber jar openers. The glass is so slippery. Sometimes it just takes the right amount of friction and force. In general, I don't like using this product for this reason. It holds liquid. It is made of glass. It takes so much force to flip the lid. I'm always anxious about breakage or spilling all over the place. I recommend you just gift them with homemade products and be done with them! Lots of strength. Try warm water to loosen the seal. Sometimes liquid creates a film that seals the lid to the glass.
