Sticker Repair Question

[nicerobot]

Anybody know what works best for reattaching decals/stickers that have come off? I have a coleco donkey kong and the thick sticker over the control pannel has currled up and completely come off. Most glues out there seem to stick to paper or plastic but not both. Thanks!!!

First, you'll want to make sure it's not curling anymore. You could try curling it the opposite way and holding it that way (it's okay if it's curling with the sticky side inside the curl, but not the other way). You also try pressing it flat and applying a little heat to it (but be careful with that, it can probably melt easily).

After that (or if you don't want to mess with that), I'd get a spray-type adhesive and spray the whole back side with it (or maybe something like contact cement). You want something that will really hold it down, but not permanent like super glue or something becuase you need to be able to remove the stick if you need to open the game for any reason.
