A question about fixing stickers on a new transformer

[Bluewolf77]

I received a titans return voy Optimus Prime and one of his stickers is lifting off and does anyone has any suggests short of removing it?(the sticker in question is one of stickers on the cockpit of his jet mode.) please help if you out there have any ideas and thank you.

If you don't have plans on removing in the future you could use a small brush and some superglue of some Lind and gently coat and press down.

I think that a glue application would devalue the toy.

One option is to find a clear sticker sheet, cut out a square and apply it overtop of the sticker. You really won't notice the clear sheet once it is on and you can remove it anytime you like.

Another option is to clear coat the area with an acrylic (water soluble) clear coat. Again, it won't stand out when you look at the toy, and you can remove it if you like. One i've tried is "americana triple thick brush on gloss glaze". I got it for $3 or $4 at Michael's craft store.

Good luck.

Reprolabels sells a glue for sticker reapplication that they claim can extend sticker-life almost indefinitely, though I have no experience with it myself.

Is this what you're talking about? http://toyhax.com/main-menu/1924-sti...pplicator.html

I'd use superglue myself, personally, but then again, I don't intend to sell any of my toys and over the years, have probably done a whole bunch of things to them to fix them that would likely devalue them in the eyes of serious collectors.

I asked reprolabels about this once, they told me not to use super glue as it might damage the plastic, and gorilla glue specifically says not to use it on the kind of plastic that toys are made of. try some white glue. it'll stick better than you think.

I had the same problem with the stickers coming off of TR voyager Optimus.

I used clear nail polish and lightly added a coat over top of the sticker itself. It came out alright, a tad on the glossy side but Im content with it

Bluewolf77. It would be much more useful if you could post photos to show people what the issues are.

Huh, go figure. I've been using Gorilla Glue a lot on my figures and never had an issue with damaged plastic. Maybe I'm lucky. Will note that for next time though.

school white glue is really water soluble after a long time.

Acrylic clear coat once cured is no longer removable by water.
