Troubleshooting
Player figure is bent or misshapen
Submerge the figure in lukewarm (not hot) water for a short period to soften the plastic, then gently reshape it by hand and hold until it cools and retains the new shape.
Player figure comes detached from the base
Use a small amount of plastic-safe adhesive (like super glue or specific model glue) to reattach the figure to its original base. Ensure the surfaces are clean before applying glue.
Figures are difficult to flick accurately
Ensure you are using a proper Subbuteo flicking technique. Practice on a clear surface. Check that the playing surface is even and free from obstructions.
