Title: What to do about peeling labels
Post by: bonusbmusic on November 23, 2013, 06:13:36 pm
Hello famicom world, im still new to this forum but have already had a few great experiences and now have a question for you all. What is the best way to reverse label peeling?

  I have some cheap multicarts and with some the label is just falling off little by little. Is there a way to mabey heat it somehow and bring the glue back to life? Or is it best to re glue them? and with what glue? Im excited to hear what others have tried and what works best.  Thank you -Brian

Any solvent based glue will work fine, just use proper amount.

It's typically suggested to reglue unstuck labels, although you may have to do some research as far as what kind of glue to use. There are many different ones recommended by different collectors.

Heat tends to break down adhesive = not what you want to do  :fire:

I tried doing one with elmers glue all and it ruined the label.  The original glue looks yellow like rubber cement... would that work?  and has anyone had success with krazy glue, does it eat through the label?
