    Some decals are unique and can´t be found NOS anymore.... Often they start to flap over in the corners and don´t stick to the plastic anymore. The decal itself with it´s artwork is often more than OK.... There is always some crud and the glue is long gone..

    Has anyone tried reusing the decal by applying new glue ? I know there is this "stick-glue" but which is a good one that will stick to "oily" plastics that the plastic indeed are ? To remove the crud, will Label Off do the job ?

    Thanks

    I am guessing that you are talking about plastic ramp decals?? I have heard that you can carefully remove, clean old decal of all old glue and use thin double sided tape to re attach. Sounded simple.

    Actually it´s the outside VORTEX decal for Pinbot.....
