I really hate the way the new yellow banana flippers "sleeves" fit on my Time Warp machine's flippers and have decided to put regular flipper bands on mine. Has anyone else had success with this? I'm trying to use superglue to attach the "concave" side of the flipper, but that stuff won't seem to adhere to silicone at all.

If it bothers you that much ditch the curved flippers and put straight flippers on. Still a great machine either way.(My first machine)

You'll have a hard time getting any kind of glue to stick to silicone. Thats one of the great things about silicone. Not much sticks to it.

Saw someone mention on another thread that they had luck with LocTite "Ultragel Control", so I swung by Lowes and picked some up. Lo-and-behold, it worked like a charm. I could hardly believe how quickly it set. We'll see how long it lasts, but so far so good.
