Normspeed Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I picked up most of a book of these at a swap. I plan to use them on my door jamb like in the good old daze. But, the peel and stick glue is hardly sticky at all due to age. Any suggestions to bring the glue back to life or what glue might work like the original where you could peel them off later?

james curl Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 The old rubber glue in the brown bottle like you might have used in school. Any glue that gets out from under the sticker can be rubbed and it will roll off making a rubber bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 small can of spray contact adhesive may be an option..less mess...turn it over and lay on a piece of newspaper..spray..then attach.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 As Tim mentioned the Spray glue will work. However, you can only spray one at a time when you get ready to use it. If you want something that you can peel and stick at will you'd probably have to use a double sided tape. You can get that in various thicknesses. The problem with that though is you would have to use a scissors to cut them apart when you get ready to use them. But it would be a clean peel and stick application. Another option is to make yourself a lifetime supply before you use any of those. Scan the sheet into your computer and save the picture. Then you can buy peel and stick paper at the office supply store and print new ones whenever you want. Then you can save the original sheet.

oldmopar Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I know there is a glue maybe the spray adhesive that tim suggested, that is use by crafters so you can hold a pattern on piece of wood and remove without damage to the surface. i like Norms coupe's idea with the scan and stick but I think the glue that use for sticky lables is perment and it may be hard to remove.

Normspeed Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'll be at a hobby store later today. I'll take a look for that spray glue that can be removed. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Hemingway Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 You could also use a glue stick. Our grandson uses them to glue car show dash placks to my display case. Dennis:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Belvedere Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Those are some very cool stickers, I wonder if anyone makes these vintage style oil change stickers, sounds like you could make a nice little side business selling reproductions on e-bay. But someone probably is already but I don't ever recall seeing any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normspeed Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 The originals turn up on ebay, the price range is pretty wide. A lot of them are sold one at a time if they have a dealer name and location. I got 15 pages for $3 at a swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get both types of self stick paper at the office supply store. One is permanent and one is removable. Just have to make sure you get the right kind of paper.

Lou Earle Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 What u might do is get something like they tag merchandise with - a clear plastic pocket and glue it to the door frame and slip the tag into it. I know it is not orginl but it would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niel Hoback Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I may have gone too far with extras. I have sheets of S&H green stamps in my ash tray. Plaid stamps too, and some Martin oil co. Anybody ever use purple martin gas? I have plenty of stamps and I am willing to share if you're interested in a sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, we had temps in the 80's today with high humidity. It's unusual for us to have heat like this, this time of year. Actually had to turn the AC on today up here. Supposed to be like this the next couple of days at least. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobT-47P15 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 One time quite a while back, I bought a sheet of the various engine decals from Neil Riddle. Made color copies of them on regular paper, carefully cut them out, and applied them to air cleaner, oil breather cap, etc with Elmers glue stick. Some have eventually come off, but stayed quite a while. I think soaking the item with water will make it come off. Kind of leaves a film however. And after driving the car in the rain, I discovered those copy decals will run. So, the most recent batch of copies I made on photo quality paper. Don't know how they will ultimately fare. Here's a Chrysler Corp oil sticker I found somewhere. I suppose a person might make a copy from this. Or I could fax a copy from work if anybody wants one.

BobT-47P15 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Bob Amos......I believe that about duct tape. The two best friends of musicians are duct tape and those plastic milk cases. Not using either right now.....but have required their assistance many times in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
