If you know how to cleanly use superglue epoxy, first secure the lift with 3M as mentioned, then use Loctite Superglue Professional to seal the edge seam. It will never lift again and be resistant to damage.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:could be, but I like to put the warning out there, for the anal people that thinking decalling a cabinet due to minor imperfections, is the answer. You actually devalue your game unless the game is so faded you can't read it anymore. Or it looks like it was dragged behind a truck. Everything else, you are usually better off touching it up and leaving it as original as you can.
Devalue is not a term well understood in this hobby.
That is not going to stop the train of the current collectors to HEP out every single game they own, if feasible.
Applies greatly to EM and early SS cabinets as well, you don't need to restencil everything, just fix bare wood areas.
There are more and more games being ruined every day for miniscule reasons.
Their is value in vintage, not just showroom "new".
Museums don't want new repainted games, they want originals.
Dealers don't want HEP games, they want originals.
The same goes candy coated, LED retina burning games.
Which repainted Mystic cabinet do owners like better below?
At what point will people even know the difference of what was original and what was redone?
