Superluminal 3750 Posted June 5, 2020 Hello Bought an old kit on ebay and it came with the sticker sheets that had been badly creased so lifting some of the stickers and exposing them to air / dust underneath. They look a bit dried out if you know what I mean. Nib ones are impossible to find so can they ever be saved so they become sticky again and straighten out? I usually use warm soapy water to apply and then a quick waft with the ciggy lighter to smooth out the creases. Will this reactivate the glue or are they fit for the bin and time to tap up MCI? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problemchild 2149 Posted June 6, 2020 Ciggy lighter?? hair dryer surely? Tamiya sell decal adhesive/softener JJ 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3750 Posted June 6, 2020 Yep! Quick waft for a few seconds shrinks them down nicely (apart from on my martini porsche shell which part melted) I dont own a hair dryer unfortunately. Its falling out faster than I could ever dry it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problemchild 2149 Posted June 6, 2020 I don’t hair dryer my hair but I own a £10 one for decal softening and manipulating onto shells JJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenb 3778 Posted June 14, 2020 I had a similar problem with a decal sheet lifting up at one corner, no amount of cleaning worked and the adhesive disappeared! MCI to the rescue 👍 Week after I got them a replacement new old stock sheet appeared on ebay! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aerobert 2145 Posted June 14, 2020 I've read several times that Shoo Goo will help with non-sticking stickers. But up to now I've didn't try this by myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
