Glue for decals?
« on: April 21, 2014, 07:16 PM »
Hi,
       I'm hoping someone can help me on which type of glue is best to use to stick decals back down please?    I applied the fork decals but they didn't completely stick down at the top. Won't take much to peel off so I'm looking to remove and re-apply.  The decals are diamond back so are the foil type ones.

What's the best glue to use?

Many thanks  :daumenhoch:

That's not a bad call - cheers.   I'm sure my daughter has got some and will give it a go.

Alternatively, if its not taking you could try...
PVA Glue (white stuff usually used with flat pack furniture)
Contact Adhesive (used to use it at work, think it would be ideal)

Not tried either obviously, but would think they are less agressive than superglue, i know that you would be able to peel the contact adhesive without too much damage if you needed to remove it.

Evo stick, contact adhesive would be best, put a small amount on the sticker and a small amount on the frame , wait 10 mins then stick together.

Thanks for the advice guys and I'll give the contact adhesive a go. Will update the post with results once I've done it.

Many thanks.   :daumenhoch:
