How to re-fix body stickers?

[Carrera124 80]

Hello,

is there an easy way to re-fix stickers that start to peel off from lexan bodies? When building a model, this is always a hard fight for me. Plain surfaces are no problem, but rounded sections and corners are always a big problem. The stickers will stick for 1-2 weeks and then start to peel off. I always clean the body and also my fingers before applying stickers, but I could figure out how to do it right.

Not sure about re-sticking but, on future builds, warm the decals with a hairdryer or hot-air gun once they're positioned - that'll soften the decal briefly, and when they cool down they'll retain their new shape

Thanks, I will try that.

(Clear) Shoegoo worked a treat for me.

Something like this one?

(sorry, never heard of "shoegoe" before).

Yes, that's the stuff. Works also great for fabric. And shoes, too (seriously).

Using a heat gun has solved this issue for me, it's made applying decals significantly more enjoyable.

@GregM, how do you use/apply the ShoeGoe? Do you coat the stickers, or do you put it in between stickers and body?
