    Default Restick label

    Anyone got any ideas what is the best glue to stick back the sticker on the cartridge?? Picked up a copy of Aleste for $60 but the label is peeling off on the top part of the cartridge

    Thx

    Dont use any wet liquid glues, they will saturate the label and ruin it.

    Things like epoxy and other thick gel like adheasives sit too thick behind it and create a bump.

    The BEST thing you can use to re-stick a cart label is thin double sided adheasive tape, lasts for ages, makes no mess and neither damages the label or the cart.

    I always used just a thin, THIN, smear of super glue on the cartridge and then pressed the label back down.

    If the label had been torn to thin (the layers of paper started seperating) then I'd use that thin plastic double sided adhesive.

    Das war der Hammer.

    The label is ok except for a corner fold. The glue seems to have "dried out" on the back of it...thats all.

    I presume something like a glue stick (uhu) for paper wont work.

    I have exactly the same problem with my copy of Chakan. What about a PVA type glue? The sort we had in school?

    PVA is for paper or wood and will not stick properly to the plastic casing, your label will re-peel within a few weeks.

    If you just want to stick down a corner then you may get away with a VERY small drop of superglue.

    I did think about superglue, But that stuff is almost impossable to lay down without making a mess. Its the entire top paart of the lable thats come away. Maybe I will test it on a copy of PGA Tour Golf that has the same problem. I like the idea of the double sided tape tho. I just dont have any around the house.
