How do I use a credit card as a replacement blade in the Flipper Platinum Scraper? Simply insert any standard plastic credit card, gift card, or hotel key card into the blade holder slot until it locks securely into place. Cut or trim the card if needed, and insert it sideways to scrub away soft algae on glass or acrylic panels. 2. Can I use stainless steel replacement blades on acrylic aquariums? No. Stainless steel blades should be used on glass aquariums only to prevent surface scratching. For acrylic aquariums, always use official Flipper plastic blades or standard plastic credit cards. 3. Where can I buy replacement blades for the Flipper Platinum Scraper? You can purchase official Flipper Plastic Replacement Blades (10-Pack) or Flipper Stainless Steel Replacement Blades directly at Buce Plant.
