Sticking A Label Back On?

[Soulmanau]

Hi folks

 

Recently I purchased a record with a paper label which had come away from the vinyl.

Something was cleanly wrong with the pressing process as the labels are normally attached during the record stamping process.

 

Any ideas on how to refix it? glue?

 

cheers

What about that 'spray mount' stuff? Would that be safe and sufficiently accurate for the purpose?

 

It's in aerosol form.

Hi Pete, first put the record centre in and then use pritt, with the centre the label will fit perfectly alligned.

In my experience (paper sticking generally not record labels) Pritt can be a bit 'lumpy'.

 

That's why I thought of spray mount as it gives a think even layer of adhesive - if you spray it carefully.

 

Never used either on a record label though - so just ignore me

I found one called contact special or something like that, liquid glue, from an art shop.  It comes with a brush and you sorta paint it on, nice thin even coat.

I've used Pritt on a styrene record, worked fine. If the label's completely off there should be no problem spreading it out evenly without lumps.

Yes, 'no nails' - that's just daft ... try nails!

Fixed - thanks for the help

 

Combined all the ideas - Super glue then a few staples to secure and the nail gun to finish the job - looks great

 

 

 

(Seriously white glue - thinly spread to avoid lumps)
