Glue!

Can anyone recommend a decent glue to reseal a bubble to an old card? I have a Breaker that I bought as sealed on card, :breaker2: but when it arrived the glue is so dry that the bubble has literally fallen off. I'd like to reseal it without it looking obvious.

I have tried superglue for similar in the past and it just makes a mess of everything and goes white, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Alternatively if anyone knows of a place where I can have it professionally done at reasonable cost?

Cheers,
Steve

Ask Paul on here.
He`s done a great job on his re-cards.

Hi, try using bostick sticky sheets. There real easy to use and also leave an effect very similar to how bubbles were originally sealed. A kind of grid effect. If that's not your taste a lot of people use double sided sticky tape.

'Bostick sticky sheets'? Haven't heard of them, I'll give them a try.

I've used superglue in the past with great results, but it is very fidd-ly as there's always the chance of messing up big time.

Recently I've used clear double sided tape which seems pretty good.

There's a 'slightly humurous' guide on youtube by 'beertrooper' on how to go about recarding - its in 3 parts
