How to reattach labels

[Scootiecat]

The end label came off my Berzerk cart. What should I use to reattach it?

If you search around, there are many threads on this topic. Most usually suggest using a glue stick, but I've found that sometimes this isn't quite enough and the label starts to peel off again over time (especially near the edges). I've considered using a spray adhesive like this, but I haven't tried it so far myself.

Thanks. I'll try using a glue stick.

Yes, glue stick works fine for me. Cheers, FB

Slap paste on the back, Jack

Make a new seal, Neil

You don't have to use gloss, Hoss 

Just label your game.

Brush glue on the cart, Bart

It don't need to be fine art

Drip sap on the frame, James  

And label your game.

UHU glue stick i think is the brand also scotch makes a CRAFT stick too or you can goto target

and get

YELLOW package

3m double stick see

threw scotch tape carefull not to rip label before using double sitck tape sticks to paper lables real good.

the tape looks like gift wrap tape but has a yellow cardboard insert on the 3m holder to let you know its double stick

I always pull more than i need then stick one end to desk then using sicsor cut thinner than normal and use small strips smaller not as WIDE AS LABEL im repairing to the label and then align then affix to cart the double stick tape works best but make shure its evenly applied to back side of label or it will look bumpy!..

here is my own label CROCKROCKS and end lable says ADAMw a paste from screen cap off stellax of my modded Asteroid©® Atari©Atari®( tm) type game..crockrocks I used HACKOMATIC II to remake graphics.

 

i used glue stick 1st but it came off so i changed to double stick double sided scotch type tape.

I'll third, fourth and fifth the glue stick. Before you try to adhese using the glue stick, though, I try to clean off the plastic and underside of the sticker with a slightly damp (water) q-tip to get any dust/hair/whatever that might keep the glue from sticking properly.

I'm with the majority here. I've used Elmer's glue sticks with a lot of success. I do recommend getting the old glue off the cartridge first so the new glue will stick nice. Goo Gone works really well, then I usually follow up with some glass cleaner and a paper towel.
