dsockel Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Any advice on the best adhesive and process to use to reapply record labels on an old Debut record? The glue dried out and the labels fell off. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 This happens a lot on old styrene pressings. New glue is the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 This happens a lot on old styrene pressings. New glue is the answer. Elmer's White glue works fine for me. Use it sparingly. Put a few drops on the label and spread it around with your finger. Apply the label to the surface carefully. After it has dried, if there is any residue you can remove it with a damp paper towel. Fortunately, the glue is water soluble, so you can't do any permanent damage if it gets anywhere other than where you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsockel Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Should I try to strip off the old residue or leave it alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Should I try to strip off the old residue or leave it alone? That would depend on how much buildup there is. I wouldn't go to any great lengths, just leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
