Best Adhesive for attaching labels

[Spare]

What glue is best for reattaching labels that fell off? Does the glue to use differ from console to console?

I have Fairchild Channel F labels to reattach but I also have Atari ones to do. These are original labels which just fell off and need to be reattached. In the past, I have had mixed success doing this because the glue bleeds through the label.

 

So what glue do you use?

Man, I always use an Elmer's "Disappearing Purple" glue stick (the purple ones that dry clear).

 

Acid free, non-toxic, you can easily see where adhesive has been applied, and not messy at all.

Yup, a good glue stick is the best IMO, used with care (I have overdone it on a thin label here and there and caused some actiplaque)

Going to agree, acid-free glue sticks are the best for adhering paper to plastic.

You could also take a hair dryer and see if heating the label up will be enough for the original glue to hold again.

I usually use glue stick it does well but I got a tricky one where the label wants to curl (must have been at the end of the roll)

I will try the hair dryer and if it fails, I am ordering a Elmer's "Disappearing Purple" glue stick.

I knew you all would know! Thanks all!
