BassGuitari Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Some of the titles in my text label collection have endlabels that are half-peeling off, and they're driving me nuts. Basically I want to remove them and reglue them. Any advice on the best way to do this? -Geph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I've used the 3M photo mounting spray with good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukasa Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Be careful with that stuff! Make sure that you spread newspapers and protect everything! I got some on my kitchen floor by accident once, When it dried it left this really nasty texture that felt like sandpaper. It took forever to get it off.

Adrian M Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Ah. I was about to ask this same question too. For some odd reason two of my carts simply had their end labels fall off last week whilst in storage. It's been somewhat humid lately, but why now all of a sudden?

sku_u Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I've generally removed any dirt and excess glue that was there before, then applied a very thin layer of Mod Podge onto the label with a brush then gently reattached the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I have sucessfully used superglue to reattach peeling labels. I didn't do it to any rare carts, since I didn't know the prolonged effects it would have on the label. It doesn't show thru after you do it, but it may show thru later.

lhfreak Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I use superglue as well.......But a VERY small amount......a thin line across is all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 The only problem with super glue is that it might not be feasible to use a heat gun to remove the label if you ever have to get to the PCB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the cart itself, I use Goof Off. As for ink on labels, there's no sure fire method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukasa Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I have used a regular old gluestick to reattach labels, but it is hard to get them off again if you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'd suggest using Bestine to remove any adhesive residue and clean the back of the old label, then 3M Super 77 spary adhesive to reapply it. The same warning applies to this stuff - put down a newspaper before spraying the back of the label. (However, Bestine will remove any overspray if you miss.)

Print your own until you find a suitable replacement cart. Photo paper is pretty good for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
