Cyberlight Fixed Gobo Wheel

Does anybody have any ideas how to fix the problem of loose fixed gobos. Over time the clasps have lost their strength and now I'm getting light bleed around the gobo. I'm not sure what possible substance to use due to heat and gravity when applying? Any ideas?

A second issue is dealing with haze fluid excess in my Cyber fixtures dripping all over the stage? I've used gaff tape to tape up the gaps which helps a little but if anyone has any tips on this it would help?

Cheers

    How old? If the copper clips are worn out due to Gumbys doing it wrong you might wanna replace the gobo holder or glue down the gobos on the edges with a little RTV clear or if you know how to really work the product you can use hi temp orange. (RTV doe not stick to a wet/oily surface or spit!) Wet cotton swabs a razor knife and tooth picks become your tools.

    Gravity? Ooooo my frind you must remove the wheel! You can't do it in the fixture. A 5/16 wrench gets the wheel off the hub for repair.

    Hows about taking them down for a good cleaning!:eek: :eek: :eek:
    I mean gut the lil grease pits! Get some scrubbing bubbles to clean the hulls of the fixture inside and out. Puddles of fuel in a Cyber is not a good idea and mineral oil is a fuel. Beside your boards can't be to thrilled with their environment either. If theres that much haze in the air your optics must be coated and might account for hazey looks and light going in the wrong places and being emitted. I see this at theme parks a lot, its ugly, gooey, and sick.:chairshot: Bad placement of a hazer/fogger not taking into account a/c and air paths wastes a lot of juice and helps gum up a lot of fixtures rather than see the problem for what it is and relocate the hazers and add fans for direction. Saves money too.:D
    If your running so much haze your fixtures drip adjust the haser placement and fan directions to be more efficient. Add a little bit of regular water based fog do some of the work the is will cut down on the drip if used enough and wisely.
    And finally,.... Can you do with less fog?:dunno:

    Hope this helps. Not being familar with your venue its all I can do to throw wildcard ideas I have seen in 25 years. Sometimes it's not what you do It's how you do it kinda thing.
