Advice wanted on dealing with a couple of pin problems
Hi all,
I have a couple of pins that have some issues and I was curious if anybody could offer any advice...
We were just at WDW, when our son got bitten by the bug, so now my interest has been rekindled, too. One of the pins I got while was there was this one...

...only when we got home, I found that the middle loop on the right side that connects the key to the pin had fallen off and was missing, so now it's just hanging by the left chain. Do you think, now that we're back home and nowhere near Florida, that there's any way to have Disney replace it?
The second thing is when I was going through all of my "old" pins (most from around 2005), one of the pins I bought from DisneyAuctions.com was this one...

...and when it was shipped to me, it was in a little styrofoam pouch and then in a plastic zipper baggie. I don't know if it got too hot at some point, but some of the styrofoam sort of "melted" onto the pin. I'd really like to get it all off, but I don't want to damage the pin in the process. Can anybody recommend a method that might work without causing harm to the pin? The styro goop (which has sort of hardened after all these years) is on the right side of the picture and the right half of Tink.
Thanks in advance from a new member
